(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عِمْرَانُ ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحَقَّرَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ يَجْتَمِعْنَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يُهْلِكْنَهُ " ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَرَبَ لَهُنَّ مَثَلًا كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ نَزَلُوا أَرْضَ فَلَاةٍ ، فَحَضَرَ صَنِيعُ الْقَوْمِ ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْطَلِقُ ، فَيَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ ، وَالرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ ، حَتَّى جَمَعُوا سَوَادًا ، فَأَجَّجُوا نَارًا ، وَأَنْضَجُوا مَا قَذَفُوا فِيهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Protect yourselves even from minor sins, because sometimes many minor sins gather together and destroy a person." And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave the example of those people who camped in a forest; when it was time to eat, one man went and brought a stick, another went and brought another stick, until many sticks were gathered, and they lit a fire and cooked whatever they had put in it.
