حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ ((اتَّقِ اللَّهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ وَأَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ)) قَالَ وَكِيعٌ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً عَنْ مُعَاذٍ فَوَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِي عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ السَّمَاعُ الْأَوَّلُ
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one so that it may erase it, and behave with people with good character. Mu'adh, the narrator, said: I found the words "from Abu Dharr" in my book, and this was the first hearing.
