noticed a young man wearing old clothes and crying by the roadside.
His name was Uthbah. Sweat was dripping down his body even though the
temperature was very cold at that time. Malik bin Dinar became very
surprised atthis scene and asked Uthbah, "Oh young man, why are you
crying? Andwhy are you sweating during this cold temperature?"
Uthbah replied, "Once, I committed a sin at this place. Today, as I
was passing by this place, I remembered that sin."

Look how pious were the early Muslims. Today,we are committing
thousands of sins, yet, we are walking around with happiness and joy
as if we have nothing to worry about.
