It is obligatory for us to believe in the Shin of Allaah and not to deny it, because He – the Exalted – has told us of it. Allaah (Ta’ala) says: يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ (Remember) the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) […]

E.g. A person gives Zakaat to a needy helper at his work with a hidden intention of encouraging him to serve him there. Since this hidden intention is not for the sake of Allaah, Allaah may nurture him and make the helper leave him, or travel, or show him bad behavior, etc.
It is a kind of lying to oneself to claim something openly whilst having a hidden (evil, insincere) intention.
