Musnad of Wabisah bin Ma'bad
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1587 — he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ الْمَعْوَلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ وَابِصَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ إِلَّا سَأَلْتُهُ، عَنْهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَحَوْلَهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَسْتَفْتُونَهُ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَخَطَّاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالُوا: إِلَيْكَ يَا وَابِصَةُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: دَعُونِي أَدْنُو مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «دَعُوا وَابِصَةَ، ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ، ادْنُ يَا وَابِصَةُ» فَدَنَوْتُ، فَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا وَابِصَةُ، أَتَسْأَلُنِي أَوْ أُخْبِرُكَ؟» قُلْتُ: بَلْ أَخْبِرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي، عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَجَمَعَ أَنَامِلَهُ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَنْكُتُ بِهِنَّ فِي صَدْرِي، وَيَقُولُ: «يَا وَابِصَةُ، اسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ، وَاسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ، اسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ، وَاسْتَفْتِ نَفْسَكَ، الْبِرُّ مَا اطْمَأَنَّتْ إِلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ، وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي الصُّدُورِ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ النَّاسُ، وَأَفْتَوْكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wabisah al-Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intending not to leave anything concerning righteousness and sin without asking him about it. When I reached him, there was a group of Muslims around him asking him about religious rulings, so I began making my way through the people towards him, and they said: "O Wabisah! Step back." I said to them: "Let me get close to him, for of all people he is the dearest to me to be close to." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let Wabisah come; O Wabisah, come close; O Wabisah, come close." So I came close and sat in front of him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Wabisah! Will you ask me, or shall I tell you (what is in your heart)?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Rather, you tell me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have come to ask me about righteousness and sin." I said: "Yes." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered his fingertips together and began tapping them on my chest, saying: "O Wabisah! Seek a ruling from your heart and seek a ruling from your own self; seek a ruling from your heart and seek a ruling from your own self. Righteousness is that with which the self is at ease and the heart is at rest, and sin is that which pricks in the chest, even if people give you a ruling (that it is permissible) and keep giving you rulings again and again."
