أَيُّوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مِكْرَزٍ، عَنْ وَابِصَةَ

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I wanted to not leave anything of good or sin without asking him about it. There was a group of Muslims consulting him, so I tried to pass by them. They said, "O Wabisa, come and ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." I said, "Leave me, for I prefer to be close to him than anyone else." They said, "Let Wabisa come closer, O Wabisa, come closer two or three times." So I approached him until I sat in front of him. He said, "O Wabisa, shall I inform you or do you want to ask me?" I said, "No, inform me." He said, "You came to ask me about good and sin." I said, "Yes." He clenched his fingers and tapped on my chest saying, "O Wabisa, consult your heart and consult your soul three times. Good is what the soul finds peace in and sin is what causes doubt in the heart, even if people give you fatwas and they give you fatwas."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ إِلَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ وَحَوْلَهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَسْتَفْتُونَهُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَطَّاهُمْ فَقَالُوا إِلَيْكَ يَا وَابِصَةُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فُقُلْتُ دَعُونِي فَأَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ قَالَ دَعُوا وَابِصَةَ ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا وَابِصَةُ أُخْبِرُكَ أَمْ تَسْأَلُنِي ؟ قُلْتُ لَا بَلْ أَخْبِرْنِي فَقَالَ جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَجَمَعَ أَنَامِلَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهِنَّ فِي صَدْرِي وَيَقُولُ يَا وَابِصَةُ اسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ وَاسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ الْبِرُّ مَا اطْمَأَنَّتْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي النَّفْسِ وَتَرَدَّدَ فِي الصَّدْرِ وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ النَّاسُ وَأَفْتَوْكَ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the intention of not leaving anything regarding righteousness and sin without asking him about it. Whenever there was a congregation around him, I would pass by them and they would say, "Go to him, O Wabisah, and ask him." So, I would say, "I am Wabisah, let me get closer to him, for it is more beloved to me to get closer to him." Then he ﷺ said to me, "Come closer, O Wabisah, come closer, O Wabisah." So, I got closer to him until my knees touched his knees. Then he said, "O Wabisah, shall I inform you of what you came to ask me about or shall you ask me?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, inform me." He said, "You came to ask me about righteousness and sin?" I said, "Yes." So, he clasped his three fingers together and tapped them on my chest, and said, "O Wabisah, consult your heart regarding righteousness, for it is that which the heart finds contentment with, and consult your soul regarding sin, for it is that which causes doubts in the chest. And if the people give you their opinion and you give them yours..."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ إِلَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ جَمْعٌ فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَخَطَّى النَّاسَ فَقَالُوا إِلَيْكَ يَا وَابِصَةُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺإِلَيْكَ يَا وَابِصَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا وَابِصَةُ دَعُونِي أَدْنُو مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَحَبِّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لِي ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى مَسَّتْ رُكْبَتِي رُكْبَتَهُ فَقَالَ يَا وَابِصَةُ أُخْبِرُكَ مَا جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهُ أَوْ تَسْأَلُنِي؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي قَالَ جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَجَمَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهَا فِي صَدْرِي وَيَقُولُ يَا وَابِصَةُ اسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ الْبِرُّ مَا اطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ الْقَلْبُ وَاطْمَأَنَّتْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَتَرَدَّدَ فِي الصَّدْرِ وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ النَّاسُ وَأَفْتَوْكَ
