Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّ
وَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ

English Translation
Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb narrated to us, Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to us saying: I heard ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr al-Ḥaḍramī mentioning from his father, from al-Nawwās ibn Samʿān al-Anṣārī: that he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about righteousness and sin. He said, 'Righteousness is good character, and sin is what wavers in your soul and you dislike that people should come to know of it.'
