Hadith 34
۞
8.Faḍālah ibn Ayyūb narrated from ʿAbdullāh ibn Yazīd, from ʿAlī ibn Yaʿqūb who said
“Abū ʿAbdillāh said to me, ‘Let people not delude you from yourself, for verily recompense [for your deeds] will reach you, not them. And let your day not be spent on this and that [which is of no benefit], for indeed with you is one who records your deeds. And do not consider the little good [you do] to be insignificant, for indeed you will see it tomorrow in a way that will please you. And do not consider the little evil [you do] to be insignificant, for indeed you will see it tomorrow in a manner that will displease you. And do good [to others], for I have not seen anything more intense in seeking out, nor quicker in catching up with, an old sin [and effacing it] than a good deed. Indeed Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: Verily good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful. (Q11:114)”
فضالة بن أيوب عن عبد الله بن يزيد عن علي بن يعقوب قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: لا يغرنك الناس من نفسك فان الاجر يصل إليك دونهم ولا تقطع عنك النهار بكذا وكذا فان معك من يحفظ عليك ولا تستقل قليل الخير فإنك تراه غدا بحيث يسرك ولا تستقل قليل الشر فإنك تراه غدا بحيث يسؤك وأحسن فانى لم أر شيئا أشد طلبا ولا أسرع دركا من حسنة لذنب قديم ان الله تبارك وتعالى يقول: إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات ذلك ذكرى للذاكرين.
