A man came to the prophet ﷺ and said : Messenger of Allah ! I have committed a crime which involves prescribed punishment so inflict it on me . He said : Have you not performed ablution when you came? He said : Yes, He said: Have you not prayed with us when we prayed ? He said : Yes .He then said : Go off, for Allah, the Exalted, forgave you.  

أبو داود:٤٣٨١حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ قَالَ تَوَضَّأْتَ حِينَ أَقْبَلْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ هَلْ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا حِينَ صَلَّيْنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ عَفَا عَنْكَ
