Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan has despaired that idols will be worshipped in the land of the Arabs, but rather he will be pleased with you for less than that by the sins you belittle, which are punishments on the Day of Resurrection. Guard against acts of wrongdoing as much as you can, for a servant will come with good deeds on the Day of Resurrection that he thinks will save him. Another servant will stand and continue to say: O Lord, Your servant has done great wrong to me! It will be said: Erase his good deeds! Such will continue until no good deeds compare to his many sins. Verily, the parable of that is like a group of travelers who settles in a barren land with no firewood, so the people disperse in search of firewood and before long they find it and kindle a large fire to cook whatever they wish. Such is the way of sins.”

Imam Ibn al-Mullaqin commented, “From the report of ‘Asim al-Ahwal, who said: We heard Abu ‘Uthman narrate from Salman, Hudhayfah, Sa’d ibn Malik, and ibn Mas’ud—until he counted six or seven of the Companions—who said: A man will be presented on the Day of Resurrection with a record, until he thinks he is saved. But the wrongs he committed against people will continue to follow him, until no good deed remains for him, and he is burdened with their sins.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ يَئِسَ أَنْ تُعْبَدَ الْأَصْنَامُ فِي أَرْضِ الْعَرَبِ وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيَرْضَى مِنْكُمْ بِدُونِ ذَلِكَ بِالْمُحَقِّرَاتِ وَهِيَ الْمُوبِقَاتُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ اتَّقُوا الْمَظَالِمَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ يَجِيءُ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَرَى أَنَّهُ سَتُنْجِيهِ فَمَا زَالَ عَبْدٌ يَقُومُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ ظَلَمَنِي عَبْدُكَ مَظْلَمَةً فَيَقُولُ امْحُوا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ مَا يَزَالُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَا يَبْقَى لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَإِنَّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ كَسَفْرٍ نَزَلُوا بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ حَطَبٌ فَتَفَرَّقَ الْقَوْمُ لِيَحْتَطِبُوا فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا أَنْ حَطَبُوا فَأَعْظَمُوا النَّارَ وَطَبَخُوا مَا أَرَادُوا وَكَذَلِكَ الذُّنُوبُ

قال ابن الملقن ومن حديث عاصم الأحول وخالد الحذاء قالا سمعنا أبا عثمان عن سلمان وحذيفة وسعد بن مالك وابن مسعود حَتَّى عد ستة أوسبعة من الصحابة قالوا إن الرجل ليرفع له يوم القيامة صحيفة حَتَّى يرى أنه ناج فما تزال مظالم بني آدم تتبعه حَتَّى ما تبقى له حسنة وتحمل عليه من سيئاتهم
