Dhu 'n-Nun al-Misri (may Allah bestow His mercy upon him) once said:

"There are three reliable symptoms of sincere devotion [ikhlas], namely:
(1) equal indifference to praise and blame from the common folk,
(2) a lack of interest in the impression made by good deeds, and
(3) regarding the reward for religious practice as a matter to be decided in the hereafter, [not in this world]."

He also said (may Allah bestow His mercy upon him): "Sincere devotion [ikhlas] is that which is safe from being corrupted by the Enemy [Satan]."
