Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37258 — The words of Ibn Masud
٣٧٢٥٨ - حدثنا وكيع عن (فطر) (١) عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي الأحوص قال: قال عبد اللَّه: المؤمن يرى ذنبه كأنه صخرة يخاف أن (تقع) (٢) عليه، والمنافق يرى ذنبه كذباب وقع على أنفه فطار فذهب (٣).
It is narrated from Abu al-Ahwas that he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The believer regards his sin as though it were a rock which he fears may fall on him, and the hypocrite regards his sin like a fly that settled on his nose, then flew off and was gone.
