شَابٌّ سَخِيٌّ مُرَهَّقٌ فِي الذُّنُوبِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْخٍ عَابِدٍ بَخِيلٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziiyad, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Shuayb, from Abu Ja’far Al Madainy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A youth drenched in the sins is more Beloved to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> than a worshipping stingy old man’.
