✧ Abu Dharr
«يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، كُنْ للِعَمَل بِالتَّقْوَى أَشَدَّ اهْتِمَامًا مِنْكَ بِالْعَمَلِ. يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنَّ الله ﷻ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا جَعَلَ الذُّنُوبَ بَيْنَ يَديهْ مُمثَّلة. يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، إِنَّ الْمُؤْمن يَرَى ذَنْبَه كَأَنَّه تَحْتَ صَخْرةٍ يَخَافُ أَنَ تَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ، وَالْكَافِرُ يَرَى ذَنْبَه كَأنَّه ذُبَاب يَمُرُّ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ. يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، لَا تنظر إِلَى صِغَر الخطيئة، وَلِكن انْظُر إِلَى عِظَمِ مَنْ عَصَيْت. يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، لَا يكونُ الرَّجُل مِنَ التعيُّر حَتَّى يُحَاسِب نَفْسَه أَشَدّ مِنْ مُحَاسَبَةِ الشَّريكِ لِشَرِيكهِ، يَعْلَم مِنْ أَيْنَ مَطعَمهُ، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ مَشْرَبُه، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ مَلبَسهُ، أَمِنْ حِلٍّ ذَلِكَ أَمْ مِنْ حَرَامٍ؟»
Translation
“O Abu Dharr, be more concerned with the piety accompanying a deed than with the deed itself. O Abu Dharr, when Allah ﷻ intends good for a servant, He places his sins before him in visible form. O Abu Dharr, the believer sees his sin as though he were beneath a rock that he fears will fall upon him, while the disbeliever sees his sin as though it were a fly passing over his nose. O Abu Dharr, do not look at the smallness of the sin, but look at the greatness of the One whom you have disobeyed. O Abu Dharr, a man will not be among the God-fearing until he takes himself to account more rigorously than one business partner takes the other to account, knowing where his food, drink, and clothing come from—whether they are lawful or unlawful.”
