Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:

al-ʿAllāmah Muḥammad b. Ismāʿeel aṣ-Ṣanʿānī Raḥimahullāh said in its Sharḥ:
“What is recommended for a believer is to be *CONSISTENT* in his actions whether he is in *PUBLIC* or in *SECLUSION* for indeed he is *NEVER* truly alone, when he’s away from people; Allāh is (still) *PRESENT* and *WATCHFUL* over him.”
