It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wabisah bin Ma'bad al-Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) that 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 (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. When I reached him (peace and blessings be upon him), a group of people was there asking him (peace and blessings be upon him) about religious rulings. I began stepping over the people (to get close), and they said: "O Wabisah! Keep away from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." I replied: "Let me get close to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for being close to him (peace and blessings be upon him) is dearer to me than anything with regard to all people." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let Wabisah come; O Wabisah, come close." (When I came close,) he (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: "Seek a ruling from your heart and ask 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 self and causes hesitation in the chest, even if people give you a ruling (that it is permissible), and keep giving it to you."

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."

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Wabisah bin Ma'bad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished (the prayer) while a man was praying alone behind the rows. He (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed him and said: "O you who pray alone! Why did you not join the row and enter in with them, or, if the place was too narrow for you, pull some man back towards yourself? Repeat your prayer, for your prayer has not been (valid)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wabisah bin Ma'bad (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr he used to stand among the people and say: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the Farewell Hajj when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asking: "What day is this?" The people said: This is the Day of Sacrifice. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What month is this?" Then he asked: "What city is this?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: This is the (Sacred) City. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, your blood, your wealth and your honour are sacred (and inviolable) to you, just as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours, until the day you meet your Lord." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Allah: "Allahumma hal ballaghtu?" (O Allah, have I conveyed (Your message)?) (He further said:) "Let the one who is present here convey (this) to the one who is not present." Sayyiduna Wabisah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (O people!) We are witnesses over you (to the conveying of the truth), just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made us witnesses.
