حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ رَبٍّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ كَالْوِعَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ إِذَا طَابَ أَسْفَلُهُ طَابَ أَعْلَاهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِذَا فَسَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ فَسَدَ أَعْلَاهُ .

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Deeds are like vessels. If the lower part is good then the upper part will be good, and if the lower part is bad then the upper part will be bad.’”
