حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدِيثَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالآخَرُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ قَالَ:
إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَأَنَّهُ قَاعِدٌ تَحْتَ جَبَلٍ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَذُبَابٍ مَرَّ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ فَقَالَ بِهِ هَكَذَا قَالَ أَبُو شِهَابٍ بِيَدِهِ فَوْقَ أَنْفِهِ۔ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ نَزَلَ مَنْزِلاً وَبِهِ مَهْلَكَةٌ وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا طَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ نَوْمَةً فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ رَاحِلَتُهُ حَتَّى اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْحَرُّ وَالْعَطَشُ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ قَالَ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي فَرَجَعَ فَنَامَ نَوْمَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا رَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَهُ۔»

related to us two narrations: one from the Prophet ﷺ and the other from himself, saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain afraid that it may fall upon him; whereas the depraved one considers his sins as flies passing over his nose. And said: like this. Abu Shihab gestured with hand over his nose. then he said that ˹the Messenger of Allah ﷺ˺ said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than a man who encamps at a place where his life is jeopardized, but he has his riding beast carrying his food and water. He then rests his head and sleeps for a short while and wakes to find his riding beast gone. ˹He, then, starts looking for it˺ suffering from severe heat and thirst or whatever Allah willed ˹for him to suffer from˺. He then ˹gives up˺ and says: I shall go back to my place. Then he comes back and sleeps again. When he get back up he finds his riding beast beside him."
