[Machine] I asked Al-Hasan ibn Ali, "What do you retain from the Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "A man asked him about a matter that I do not know what it was. So, he said, 'Leave what makes you doubtful for what does not make you doubtful.'"
قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَا تَحْفَظُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ؟ فَقَالَ «دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ»
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said to Wabisah, "Have you come to ask about righteousness and sin?" Wabisah replied, "Yes." The Prophet then clasped his fingers, struck his chest with them, and said, "Consult your heart, consult your soul, O Wabisah. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels satisfied, and sin is that which causes agitation in the soul and hesitation in the heart, even if people give you a verdict and even if they give you an opinion."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِوَابِصَةَ «جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَجَمَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا صَدْرَهُ وَقَالَ «اسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ اسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ يَا وَابِصَةُ ثَلَاثًا الْبِرُّ مَا اطْمَأَنَّتْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ وَاطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ الْقَلْبُ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي النَّفْسِ وَتَرَدَّدَ فِي الصَّدْرِ وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ النَّاسُ وَأَفْتَوْكَ»
