Righteousness Is Good Character
الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ
Transliteration
Al-birru husnul-khuluq, wal-ithmu ma haka fi sadrika wa karihta an yattali'a 'alayhin-nas
Translation
Narrated An-Nawwas ibn Sam'an (RA): I asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) 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."
