حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ: قِيلَ:
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ حَسَنَ الْعَقْلِ كَثِيرَ الذُّنُوبِ، قَالَ: مَا مِنْ آدَمِيٍّ، إِلَّا وَلَهُ خَطَايَا وَذُنُوبٌ يَقْتَرِفُهَا، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ سَجِيَّتُهُ الْعَقْلَ، وَغَرِيزَتُهُ الْيَقِينَ، لَمْ تَضُرَّهُ الذُّنُوبُ. قِيلَ: وَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لِأَنَّهُ كُلَّمَا أَخْطَأَ لَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ يَتَدَارَكَ ذَلِكَ بِتَوْبَةٍ وَنَدَامَةٍ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ، فَيَمْحُو ذَلِكَ ذُنُوبَهُ، وَيَبْقَى لَهُ فَضْلٌ يَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ

✧ O Messenger of God ﷺ, [what about] a man who has good intellect but many sins? He said: There is no human being except that he has errors and sins that he commits. Whoever's innate character is intellect, and whose natural disposition is certainty, sins will not harm him. It was said: How is that, O Messenger of God? He said ﷺ: Because whenever he errs, he does not wait long before he rectifies that with repentance and regret for what he did, so that erases his sins, and there remains for him an excellence by which he enters Paradise.
