Hadith 8988
اُردوEn
عَنِ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nawwas bin Sam'an (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about virtue and sin, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied to him: Virtue is good character, and sin is that which pricks your heart and you dislike that people become aware of it.
