While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in the mosque and we were sitting with him, a man came and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have committed an offense that requires a prescribed punishment, so carry it out on me."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. Then the call to begin the prayer was made. When the Prophet of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, Abu Umama said, "The man followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he left, and I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to see what he would say to the man."The man caught up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have committed an offense that requires a prescribed punishment, so carry it out on me."Abu Umama said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Tell me, when you left your house, did you not perform ablution and do it well?"He answered, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."The Prophet asked, "Then did you attend the prayer with us?"He said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Allah has forgiven you your prescribed punishment," or he said, "your sin."
بينما رسول الله ﷺ في المسجد، ونحن قعود معه، إذ جاء رجل فقال: يا رسول الله إني أصبت حدا فأقمه علي، فسكت عنه، وأقيمت الصلاة، فلما انصرف نبي الله ﷺ قال أبو أمامة: فأتبع الرجل رسول الله ﷺ حين انصرف، واتبعت رسول الله ﷺ أنظر ما يرد على الرجل، فلحق الرجل رسول الله ﷺ فقال: يا رسول الله إني أصبت حدا فأقمه علي، قال أبو أمامة: فقال له رسول الله ﷺ: أرأيت حين خرجت من بيتك أليس قد توضأت فأحسنت الوضوء؟ قال: بلى يا رسول الله، قال: ثم شهدت الصلاة معنا؟ فقال: نعم يا رسول الله، قال: فقال رسول الله ﷺ: فإن الله قد غفر لك حدك، أو قال: ذنبك.
