"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: ثَلاثٌ هُنَّ أَصْلُ كُلِّ خَطِيئة فَاتَّقُوهُنَّ وَاحْذَرُوهُنَّ، وَثَلاثٌ إِذَا ذُكِرْنَ فَأَمْسكُوا: إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكِبْرَ؛ فَإِنَّ إِبْليسَ إِنَّمَا مَنَعَهُ الْكِبْرُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لآدَمَ، وَفِى لَفْظٍ: حَمَلَهُ الْكِبْرُ عَلَى أَنْ لا يَسْجُدَ لآدَمَ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْحِرْصَ؛ فَإِنَّ آدَمَ إِنَّمَا حَمَلَهُ الْحِرْصُ عَلَى أَنْ يَأكُلَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ، وَإيَّاكُمْ وَالْحَسَدَ فَإِنَّ ابْنَىْ آدَمَ إِنَّما قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ حَسَدًا فَهُوَ أَوَّلُ كُلِّ خطِيئَةٍ، فَاتَّقُوهُنَّ، وَاحْذَرُوهنَّ، وَالثَّلاثُ إِذَا ذُكِرَ الْقَدَرُ فَأَمْسِكُوا وَإذَا ذُكِرَ النَّجُومُ فَأَمْسِكُوا، وَإذَا ذُكِرَ أَصْحَابِى فَأمْسِكُوا".

"From Ibn Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Three things are the root of every sin, so beware of them and be wary of them: beware of pride, for Iblis was only prevented by pride from prostrating to Adam; and in another wording: pride carried him to not prostrate to Adam. Beware of greed, for Adam was only led by greed to eat from the tree. Beware of envy, for one of the two sons of Adam killed the other out of envy, so it is the first of every sin. And three, when they are mentioned, then refrain: when fate (al-qadar) is mentioned, refrain; when the stars are mentioned, refrain; and when my companions are mentioned, refrain.'"
