Daily Reminder

From Sahl Ibn Sa’d (ra) who said that Allah’s Messenger said:

“Beware of sins which are treated as being minor, just like a people who encamp in the centre of a valley, so someone brings a stick of firewood and someone else brings a stick until they are therefore able to bake their bread.  Likewise sins which are treated as being minor and for which the person is taken to account will destroy him.”

It is just as the Noble Companion Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood said: “The believer sees his sins as if he were sitting beneath a mountain which he feared was about to fall upon him, whereas the wicked sees his sins like a man who finds a fly settle upon his nose, so he does this “(one of the narrators said: he brushes it away from his nose with his hand.)
