Do not trivialize your sins for they gather up and destroy you
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Beware of the trivialization of sins, for they gather upon a person until they destroy him.”
And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave an example regarding them, saying “It is like a man who was traveling in a barren land when he visited a workman of a people. So the man started to bring a piece of firewood, and the other man brought a piece of firewood, until they had gathered a large quantity and ignited a fire, that burned up everything thrown in.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحَقَّرَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ يَجْتَمِعْنَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يُهْلِكْنَهُ.»
وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ضَرَبَ لَهُنَّ مَثَلًا: «كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ نَزَلُوا أَرْضَ فَلَاةٍ، فَحَضَرَ صَنِيعُ الْقَوْمِ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْطَلِقُ فَيَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ وَالرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ حَتَّى جَمَعُوا سَوَادًا، فَأَجَّجُوا نَارًا وَأَنْضَجُوا مَا قَذَفُوا فِيهَا.»
