حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ نَوَّاسِ بْنِ سِمْعَانَ ، قَالَ: أَقَمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ سَنَةً مَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ إِلاَّ الْمَسْأَلَةُ ، كَانَ أَحَدُنَا إِذَا هَاجَرَ لَمْ يَسْأَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالإِثْمِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ ، وَالإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ ، وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ.
It was narrated that An-Nawwas bin Sam'an said: "I stayed with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) in Al-Madinah for one year, and nothing kept me from parting from him except asking questions. If one of us left him he would not ask the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about anything. But I asked him about righteousness and sin, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Al-Birr (righteousness) is good conduct, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and you do not want the people to find out about it."'

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
