Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَعْنَى وَهَذَا لَفْظُ وَكِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَزَرِيِّ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ أَنْ أَبَاهُ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ مُقَرِّنٍ الْمُزَنِيَّ قَالَ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَسَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
English Translation
Abdullah said: 'The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting beneath a mountain, fearing it will fall on him, while the wicked person sees his sins like a fly that passed by his nose and he waved it away.'
