darimi:2575Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād b. Salamah > al-Zubayr Abū ʿAbd al-Salām > Ayyūb b. ʿAbdullāh b. Mikraz al-Fihrī > Wābiṣah b. Maʿbad al-Asadī

[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."  

الدارمي:٢٥٧٥حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِكْرَزٍ الْفِهْرِيِّ عَنْ وَابِصَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ

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»

"يا وَابِصَةُ! اسْتَفْتِ قَلبَكَ، اسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ، الْبِرُّ ما اطْمَأنَّ إِليْهِ الْقَلبُ، واطْمَأَنَّتْ إِليهِ النَّفْسُ، والإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ في النَّفْسِ، وَتَردَّدَ في الصَّدْرِ وَإِنْ أَفتَاكَ النَّاسُ وَأَفْتوْكَ".
