حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ أَبُو عَبْدِ، ، السَّلَامِ (١) ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مِكْرَزٍ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ (٢) قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جُلَسَاؤُهُ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ عَنْ وَابِصَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ، - قَالَ عَفَّانُ: حَدَّثَنِي (٣) غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ: حَدَّثَنِي جُلَسَاؤُهُ - قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ إِلَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ، وَحَوْلَهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَسْتَفْتُونَهُ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَطَّاهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: إِلَيْكَ يَا وَابِصَةُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فُقُلْتُ: دَعُونِي فَأَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: " دَعُوا وَابِصَةَ، ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ " مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، قَالَ: فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " يَا وَابِصَةُ أُخْبِرُكَ أَمْ تَسْأَلُنِي (٤) ؟ " قُلْتُ: لَا، بَلْ أَخْبِرْنِي، فَقَالَ: " جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ " فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَجَمَعَ أَنَامِلَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهِنَّ فِي صَدْرِي، وَيَقُولُ: " يَا وَابِصَةُ اسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ، وَاسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ " ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، " الْبِرُّ مَا اطْمَأَنَّتْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ، وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي النَّفْسِ، وَتَرَدَّدَ فِي الصَّدْرِ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ النَّاسُ وَأَفْتَوْكَ " (٥)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Wabisa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet (ﷺ) with the intention that I would not leave out any good or sin without asking the Prophet (ﷺ) about it. When I arrived, there were many people present with the Prophet (ﷺ). I began to move forward, stepping over people. The people said, "Wabisa! Step back from the Prophet (ﷺ)." I said, "I am Wabisa, let me come near him, for among all the people, I like being closest to him the most." The Prophet (ﷺ) also said to me, "Wabisa! Come closer." So I came so close that my knee began to touch the knee of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wabisa, what have you come to ask me about?" I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), you tell me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have come to ask me about virtue and sin." I submitted, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) joined his three fingers together and, touching my chest with them, said, "Wabisa! Seek a verdict from your own soul. Virtue is that which the heart feels at ease with and the soul finds peace in, and sin is that which pricks at your heart and causes hesitation in your chest, even if people keep giving you verdicts."
