إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُذْنِبُ الذَّنْبَ فَيَنْدَمُ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ فَيَسُرُّهُ ذَلِكَ فَيَتَرَاخَى عَنْ حَالِهِ تِلْكَ فَلَأَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى حَالِهِ تِلْكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِمَّا دَخَلَ فِيهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The man commits the sin, so he regrets upon it and he does the (good) deed, so that cheers him, so he slackens from that state of his. So for him to be upon that state of his (of regret) is better for him than what had entered into him (from the self-importance)’.
