Musnad Abi Ya'la 5122 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Satan has despaired

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ يَئِسَ أَنْ تُعْبَدَ الْأَصْنَامُ فِي أَرْضِ الْعَرَبِ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيَرْضَى مِنْكُمْ بِدُونِ ذَلِكَ بِالْمُحَقَّرَاتِ ، وَهِيَ : الْمُوبِقَاتُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، اتَّقُوا الْمَظَالِمَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ ، فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ يَجِيءُ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَرَى أَنَّهُ سَتُنْجِيهِ ، فَمَا زَالَ عَبْدٌ يَقُومُ ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ ظَلَمَنِي عَبْدُكَ مَظْلَمَةً ، فَيَقُولُ : امْحُوا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ ، مَا يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ ، حَتَّى مَا يَبْقَى لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ ، وَإِنَّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ كَسَفْرٍ نَزَلُوا بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ حَطَبٌ ، فَتَفَرَّقَ الْقَوْمُ لِيَحْتَطِبُوا ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا أَنْ حَطَبُوا ، فَأَعْظَمُوا النَّارَ ، وَطَبَخُوا مَا أَرَادُوا ، وَكَذَلِكَ الذُّنُوبُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Satan has despaired of idols being worshipped in the land of the Arabs, but besides that he will be content with you through the sins that you consider trivial, and these are the very sins that will prove destructive on the Day of Resurrection. Avoid wrongdoing and injustice as much as you can, for a servant will come on the Day of Resurrection with his good deeds, thinking that they will save him; but one servant after another will keep standing up and saying: 'Ya Rabbi, zalamani 'abduka mazlamah' (O my Lord, this servant of Yours wronged me), and Allah Almighty will say: 'Umhu min hasanatihi' (Erase (his due) from his good deeds), and this will continue until, because of (the recompense for) his sins, not a single good deed remains with him. The likeness of this is that of a group of travellers who camped in a wilderness and had no firewood with them. The people then dispersed to gather wood, and in a short while they had gathered so much that they lit a huge fire and cooked whatever they wished to cook. Such is the case with sins too (they accumulate and destroy a person)."
