An-Nawwās ibn Sim‘ān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Righteousness is good character, and sin is what wavers in your heart, and you dislike that people know about it." Wābisah ibn Ma‘bad (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: "You have come to inquire about righteousness and sin." I said: Yes. He said: "Ask your heart. Righteousness is that which the soul feels at ease with and the heart feels tranquil about.

And sin is that which wavers in your soul and causes uneasiness in your chest, even if people give you legal opinions and give you more opinions (in its favor)."

Source textOriginal Arabic
عَنِ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سِمْعَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «البِرُّ: حُسْنُ الخُلُقِ، وَالإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ، وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ». وَعَنْ وَابِصَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ عَنِ البِرِّ وَالإِثْمِ»، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «اسْتَفْتِ قَلْبَكَ، البِرُّ: مَا اطْمَأَنَّتْ إلَيْهِ النَّفْسُ، وَاطْمَأَنَّ إلَيْهِ القَلْبُ، وَالإِثْمُ: مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَتَرَدَّدَ فِي الصَّدْرِ، وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ النَّاسُ وَأَفْتَوْكَ».
