And sin, and the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said, “Righteousness is good character, and sin is what wavers within your soul and which you dislike people finding out about.” Muhammad told us. Bin Bashar, Abd al-Rahman bin Mahdi narrated to us, Muawiyah bin Salih narrated to us, something similar, except that he said, “I asked The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
