English translation

[6517] 15 - (...) It was narrated that An-Nawwâs bin Sam'ân said: "I stayed with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in Al-Madînah for one year, and nothing kept me from parting from him except asking questions. If one of us left him he would not ask the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about anything.[1] But I asked him about righteousness and sin, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Al-Birr (righteousness) is good conduct, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and you do not want the people to find out about it.'"

Arabic text

15 - (2553) حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ نَوَّاسِ بْنِ سِمْعَانَ، قَالَ: أَقَمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ سَنَةً مَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ إِلَّا الْمَسْأَلَةُ، كَانَ أَحَدُنَا إِذَا هَاجَرَ لَمْ يَسْأَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ، وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ، وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ»

    [1] Because those who lived there had been prohibited from asking Allâh's Messenger ﷺ about anything until he had explained it to them. See no. 102.
