وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يَقُولُ : " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ "، قَالُوا : بَلَى، قَالَ : " إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبِغْضَةَ فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ "
Saeed bin Musayyib said: Shall I not tell you of something that is better than many prayers and charity? The people said: Tell us. Saeed said: Reconciling between people, and beware of malice and enmity, for this trait shaves off good deeds.
