See footnote to 4:139.

[1246] For acceptance by Allāh, meaning that righteous deeds are confirmation and proof of what is uttered by the tongue.

Whoever desires glory [should know that] all glory belongs to God, in this world and in the Hereafter, and it cannot be obtained from Him except through obedience to Him, so let such [a one] be obedient to Him. To Him ascends good words, that is to say, He is aware of such [good words], and these are [statements such as] 'there is no god except God' and the like; and as for righteous action, He exalts it, He accepts it; but those who plot evil, schemes against the Prophet - [as was the case] at the council assembly, in the way of imprisoning him, killing him or expelling him, as mentioned in [soorat] al-Anfaal [Q. 8:30] - theirs shall be a severe chastisement and their plotting shall come to nothing: it shall be ruined.
