Jami at-Tirmidhi 2497 (Book 37, Hadith 83) #28132
The Contrasting Perspectives of Believers and Wicked People on Sins

SUMMARY: The believer sees their sins as a heavy burden, while the wicked person sees them as insignificant and easily dismissible.

Al-Harith bin Suwaid said: " 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated two Ahadith to us, one of them from himself and the other from the Prophet (s.a.w)'.Abdullah said: 'The believer sees his sins as if he was at the base of a mountain, fearing that it was about to fall upon him. The wicked person sees his sins as if (they are) flies are hitting his nose" he said: "Like this" - motioning with his hand - "to get them to fly away".
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، بِحَدِيثَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَالآخَرُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَأَنَّهُ فِي أَصْلِ جَبَلٍ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَذُبَابٍ وَقَعَ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ قَالَ بِهِ هَكَذَا فَطَارَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the contrasting perspectives between believers and wicked people when it comes to sin. Believers see their sins as a heavy burden, something that weighs heavily on them and they fear its consequences. On the other hand, wicked people view their sins as insignificant and easily dismissible, like flies that can be waved away with one's hand. This hadith serves to remind us of how we should view our own sins; with humility, regret, repentance and fear of Allah's punishment for our wrongdoings. We should strive to be like believers who take responsibility for their actions rather than those who are heedless of Allah's warnings.
