Ibn 'Abbaas on Sin

[Abu Talib]

Abdullaah Ibn Abbas (radiallahu anhu),



"You who commit a sin, do not feel secure about the results, for what goes along with the sin is more serious than the sin itself.



Your lack of shame before the angels, who witness you when you commit the sin, is more serious than the sin itself.



Your laughter when you sin, as you forget the punishment of Allah is more serious than the sin itself.



Your delight if you get a chance to sin, is more serious than the sin itself.



Even your disappointment, if you miss a chance to sin is more serious than the sin itself."

SubhanAllaah akhi that was really eye opening and so true! Aside from sinning, the fact that our hearts may actually find pleasure and look forward to it and put us in a worse situation is quite scary. JazaakAllaah khayr.

If I might ask though brother, do you know the source from which this quote was taken from? As I believe it would be beneficial for all if you would be able to post it.
