Quoted in footnotes to
“An Explanation of Riyadh as-Saliheen” by Sheikh Ibn `Uthaymeen
Glory be to Allâh, Lord of the Worlds. There is not in the abandonment of misdeeds and wrongdoing save:

The establishment of manhood;
The protection of honor;
The preservation of prestige;
The conservation of wealth - [all matters] which Allâh has placed as a foundation for the correction of the Dunyâ and the Hereafter - the love of creation [for him] and a statement of approval amongst them;
A righteous substinence;
A healthy body;
Strength of the heart;
Tranquillity of the soul;
Happiness of the heart;
A state of pleasure and cheerfulness;
Safety from the perils of the sinners and wrongdoers, [and] an absence of purpose, grief, and sorrow;
A sense of honor from the possibility of ignominy and disgrace;
Protection for the light of the heart from being extinguished by the darkness of
Transgression;
The acquirement of an escape from [that matter] which has caused the sinners and transgressors to become depressed and dejected;
The availability of sustenance [for him] from [an avenue] where it was not considered [possible];
The facilitation of [that matter] which has become difficult for the masters of sin and transgression [to obtain];
The facilitation of righteous deeds [for him];
The acquisition of knowledge and beautified praise amongst the people;
An abundant amount of supplication [for him];
A beautified countenance;
The veneration which is cast into the hearts of the people [for him];
Their help and protection [for him] whenever he is hurt and oppressed;
Their act of defending his honor whenever he is defamed and slandered;
A swift response to his supplication;
The removal of estrangement between [the individual] and Allâh;
The proximity of the Angels [towards him];
The distancing of the Shayâteen from amongst the men and Jinn [from him];
A rivalry amongst the people to serve him and fulfil his needs;
Their engagement for his love and companionship;
His absence of fear from death; Rather he rejoices in that [matter], for his arrival before His Lord and his encounter with Him [leads to] his fate amongst Him;
The insignificance of the Dunyâ in his heart;
The importance of the Hereafter amongst him; his yearning for the Sublime Kingdom, and the lofty success therein;
The sweet taste of obedience;
The love for the sweetness of eemân;
The supplication of those who carry the Throne, and whosoever surrounds Him from amongst His Angels;
The delight of the Scribes, and their continuous supplication for him;
An increase in intellect, understanding, faith, and comprehension;
His acquisition of the Love of Allâh, and His [act] of Turning towards him; [the attainment] of His Delight for his act of penitence; this [matter] rewards him with delight and happiness. For there is no connection for [the individual] to His Delight and Happiness by means of wrongdoing, [and] its various types. Accordingly, these are some of these signs [actualized] by the abandonment of wrongdoing in this world.
