Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Sa’id bin Zayd Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Advise me. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I advise you to be as shy before Allah Almighty as you are shy before a righteous man from your own people.”
