[Machine] I heard Bilal ibn Saad saying, "Don't focus on the smallness of the sin, but rather look at whom you have disobeyed."

الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٦٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُطِيعٍ وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا [312] الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ يَقُولُ «لَا تَنْظُرُ إِلَى صِغَرِ الْخَطِيئَةِ وَلَكِنْ انْظُرْ مَنْ عَصَيْتَ»
