عَنْ وَابِصَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَعْبَدٍ الْأَسَدِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ 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 اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ دَعُونِي فَأَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ دَعُوا وَابِصَةَ ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا وَابِصَةُ أُخْبِرُكَ أَوْ تَسْأَلُنِي 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
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wabisah bin Ma’bad al-Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), intending to ask him about every aspect of virtue and sin. A group of Muslims was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and they were asking various questions. As I began to move forward, stepping over their necks, they said to me: Wabisah! Stay away from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But I said: Leave me, I want to get closer to him, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the most beloved of all people to me. At that moment, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave Wabisah, Wabisah! Come closer to me. He said this two or three times. So I came close to him and sat down in front of him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wabisah! Shall I tell you something myself or will you ask? I said: No, you tell me yourself. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have come to ask about virtue and sin. I said: Yes. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his fingers together and placed them on my chest and said: Wabisah! Ask your heart, ask your heart, he said this three times. Virtue is that which the soul feels at ease with, and sin is that which causes hesitation in the soul and creates doubt in the chest, even if people keep giving you fatwas upon fatwas.
