مَنْ حَاوَلَ أَمْرًا بِمَعْصِيَةٍ كَانَ أَفْوَتَ لِمَا رَجَا وَأَقْرَبَ لِمَجِيءِ مَا اتَّقَى
Whoever seeks something through disobedience will be further from what he hopes and closer to what he fears
Musnad ash-Shihab 512 — Whoever seeks something through disobedience
512 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْمِسْوَرِ ثنا مِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، ثنا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَاوَلَ أَمْرًا بِمَعْصِيَةٍ كَانَ أَفْوَتَ لِمَا رَجَا وَأَقْرَبَ لِمَجِيءِ مَا تُتَّقَى»
Al-Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever seeks to accomplish something through sin will never have his hope fulfilled; rather, he will come very close to that which he was trying to avoid."
