Hadith 22808

حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحَقَّرَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ ، كَقَوْمٍ نَزَلُوا فِي بَطْنِ وَادٍ ، فَجَاءَ ذَا بِعُودٍ ، وَجَاءَ ذَا بِعُودٍ ، حَتَّى أَنْضَجُوا خُبْزَتَهُمْ ، وَإِنَّ مُحَقَّرَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ مَتَى يُؤْخَذْ بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا تُهْلِكْهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware even of minor and insignificant sins, for their example is like that of people who camped in a valley; one person brought a stick, another brought another stick, and in this way they gathered enough to bake their bread. And when a person is taken to account for insignificant sins, they will destroy him."
