171 – Abu ʿAbd Allah al-Taymi related to us; Sayyar related to us, from Jaʿfar, from Malik ibn Dinar, who said: “I was informed of a young man who had once fallen into sin. He went to a river to bathe, but when he remembered his offence he stopped, felt shame, and turned back. The river then called to him: ‘O sinner, had you come near me I would have drowned you!’”
