حَدَّثَنَا مُنْتَصِرُ بْنُ نَصْرِ بْنِ مُنْتَصِرٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ابْنُ أَخِي تَمِيمِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَصِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الأَزْرَقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنِّي أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي الشَّيْءَ أَنْ أَكُونَ حُمَمَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : ذَاكَ صَرِيحُ الإِيمَانِ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، إِلا إِسْحَاقُ الأَزْرَقُ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I find such thoughts in my heart that I consider it better to become charcoal than to utter them." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is clear faith."

Explanation & Benefits
Abu Dawud — Hadith 5112
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! one of us has thoughts of such nature that he would rather be reduced to charcoal than speak about them. He said: Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great. Praise be to Allah Who has reduced the guile of the devil to evil prompting. Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile". Ibn Qudamah said "reduced his matter" instead of "reduced his guile".
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
If the thoughts that come to the heart remain at the level of passing notions and ideas, that is, whispers (wasawis), before any firm resolve (azm) is made, then there is no accountability for them.
