٣٦٩٢٥ - حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا الأعمش عن أبي سفيان عن مغيث بن سمي قال: كان رجل يتعبد في (صومعته) (١) نحوا من ستين سنة، قال: فمطر الناس فاطلع من صومعته، فرأى (الغدر) (٢) والخضرة فقال: لو نزلت فمشيت ونظرت، ففعل فبينما هو يمشي إذ (لقيته) (٣) امرأة فكلمها، فلم (تزل) (٤) تكلمه حتى واقعها، ⦗٢١٢⦘ قال: فوضع كيسا كان عليه، فيه رغيف، ونزل الماء يغتسل، فحضر أجله، فمر سائل فأومأ إلى الرغيف فأخذه، ومات الرجل، فوزن عمله (لستين) (١) سنة فرجحت (خطيئته) (٢) بعمله، ثم وضع الرغيف فرجح، فغفر له.
It is narrated from Hazrat Mughith that there was a man who had been worshipping in his church for sixty years. One day, there was a heavy rain. He looked out from his church and saw water, a pond, greenery, and vegetables, etc. He said, "If I go down, I will walk and see." Then he did so. During this, he met a woman. He started talking to her, and the woman kept conversing with him until he committed a wrong act. Then he placed his bag, in which there was bread. Rain came, with which he performed ghusl (ritual bath). Then his appointed time arrived. A beggar passed by there who was in dire need of his bread, so he took the bread from there, and this man passed away. The deeds of his sixty years were weighed, and the side of his sins became heavier. Then the bread was placed on the scale, and it became heavier, so he was forgiven.
