حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ
جِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ، فَقَالَ: جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا جِئْتُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: « الْبِرُّ مَا انْشَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرُكَ، وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ ».

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him about righteousness and sin. He said: 'You have come to ask about righteousness and sin?' I said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I have not come to ask you about anything else.' He said: 'Righteousness is that which your heart feels at ease with, and sin is that which wavers in your heart, even if people give you fatwas about it.'
