And Ibn Abi Mulaika said, "I met thirty Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and each of them was afraid of becoming a hypocrite and none of them said that he was as strong in belief as the angel Jibril (Gabriel) or Mikael (Michael)." And Al- Hasan (Al-Basri) said, "It is only a faithful believer who dreads hypocrisy and only a hypocrite who considers himself safe (is not afraid of hypocrisy).”
And one should be afraid, not to persist in hypocrisy and disobedience of Allah (by committing sins) without repenting to Allah جل جلاله immediately, as is referred to in the Statement of Allah تعالى: "And (they) do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know." (V.3:135).

And the Statement of Allah تعالى: "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him." (V.3:85).

الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا، أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ…
"If a man spends something on his family, seeking reward from Allah for it, it will be recorded for him as charity."

إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فَمِ امْرَأَتِكَ"
And the Statement of Allah تعالى: "If they are sincere (in duty) to Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ)." (V.9:91)
