THE SATISFACTION OF VIRTUE

595

“Wabisa went to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, asked him, ‘Have you come to inquire about virtue?’ Wabisa replied, ‘Yes, indeed.’ Thereupon the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, replied, ‘Ask your heart. Virtue is that which satisfies the soul and comforts the heart; and sin is that which disturbs the soul and troubles the heart, even if people say that it is lawful and should seek your views on such matters.’"

Ahmad and Darmi with a chain up to Wabisa the son of Ma'bad who related this hadith.
