Stopping Sins
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ:
إِنَّهُ وَالله مَا خَرَجَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ بِإِصْرَارٍ وَمَا خَرَجَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ إِلا بِإِقْرَارٍ.
Mu’awiyah ibn Ammar who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah AS saying:
‘By Allah a servant cannot get out of sin while persisting in it and a servant cannot get out of sin without confessing to it.’”
