Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْأَنْصَارِىَّ قَالَ وَك
َذَا قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī narrated to us, from Muʿāwiyah — meaning Ibn Ṣāliḥ — from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Jubayr, from his father: that al-Nawwās ibn Samʿān al-Anṣārī — and likewise Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb said: al-Anṣārī — said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ about righteousness and sin. He said, 'Righteousness is good character, and sin is what wavers in your chest and you dislike that people should come to know of it.'
