Sahih al-Bukhari #6253

To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، عَنْ غَيْلاَنَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَعْمَلُونَ أَعْمَالاً هِيَ أَدَقُّ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّعَرِ، إِنْ كُنَّا نَعُدُّهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمُوبِقَاتِ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ الْمُهْلِكَاتِ‏.‏
Anas said "You people do (bad) deeds (commit sins) which seem in your eyes as tiny (minute) than hair while we used to consider those (very deeds) during the life-time of the Prophet (ﷺ) as destructive sins."
Narrated by Narrated Ghailan:

Context

In this hadith, Anas highlights the tendency of people to underestimate their sins, perceiving them as trivial when they are, in fact, serious transgressions. He contrasts the current perspective on sins with that of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who viewed similar actions as destructive. This serves as a reminder of the importance of self-awareness and accountability in one's actions.

Modern Application

Today, individuals may overlook minor wrongdoings, thinking they are insignificant. This hadith encourages self-reflection and awareness of our actions, urging us to recognize the potential consequences of even seemingly small sins in our lives.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Sin and Warning because it emphasizes the gravity of actions that are often dismissed as minor, reminding us to take our moral responsibilities seriously.
