Sin displeasing you better than pride-inducing virtue

1674. hadíth

٤٦. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): سَيِّئَةٌ تَسُوءُكَ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ تُعْجِبُكَ.

46. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: The sin that displeases you is better in the view of Allāh than the virtue which makes you proud. [1]
