Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: "There is no path to Allah the Exalted closer than servitude, and there is no veil heavier than the claim." What is the claim?
Answer:
Servitude is breaking oneself before Allah and obeying Him.
And the claim is that one claims to be such and such, and that he is such and such, and boasts of his deeds by saying that he is pious, that he stands in night prayer, and that he is one who fasts, so he is tested with showing off in worship and tested with boasting over Allah.
