Al- Imām Ibn Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
The
sign of happiness is that the servant’s good deeds are behind his back and his evils [sins, disobedience] are before his eyes. And the sign of
wretchedness is that he puts his good
deeds in front of his eyes and his evils behind his back [as if he never did
them].
