Sayings of The Holy Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud related to us two
narrations: One from the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the other from
himself, saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a
mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked person
considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away
like this." Abu Shihab (the sub-narrator) moved his hand over his
nose in illustration. (Ibn Mas'ud added): Allah's Apostle (sallallahu alaihi
wasallam) said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave
than a man who encamps at a place where his life is jeopardized, but he has his
riding beast carrying his food and water. He then rests his head and sleeps for
a short while and wakes to find his riding beast gone. (He starts looking for
it) and suffers from severe heat and thirst or what Allah wished (him to suffer
from). He then says, 'I will go back to my place.' He returns and sleeps again,
and then (getting up), he raises his head to find his riding beast standing
beside him."
