Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37344 — The words of Abu Ubaydah bin

It is narrated from Numran bin Mikhmar al-Rahbi; he said that Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was moving along in the army and saying: "Beware! Many who keep their clothes white are defiling their religion. Beware! Many who honor their own selves are in fact humiliating them. Beware! Do new good deeds for your old evil deeds, for if one of you were to fill what lies between the heavens and the earth with evil and then do one good deed, this good deed would overcome his evil deeds, until it subdues them."
