[Machine] Narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: "Decrease your sins, for you will not meet Allah with anything better than reducing your sins."  

الزهد لأحمد:٩١٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَحِمَهَا اللَّهُ أَقِلُّوا الذُّنُوبَ؛ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ ﷻ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ قِلَّةِ الذُّنُوبَ
