By expecting something in return, the heart's intention is obliterated. Doing good should not have any other ulterior motive except because it is done out of genuine compassion ...

In the Quran it is clearly stated that Allah rewards the good deeds we have done to others.

Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah (Monotheism) and in Messenger Muhammad SAW , and do not apostate because of the harm they receive from the polytheists), and do righteous good deeds, surely, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall reward them according to the best of that which they used to do.

And for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and other items of Faith) and do righteous good deeds, surely, We shall make them enter in (the enterance of) the righteous (i.e. in Paradise).
