[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey when a man came to him and said, "Indeed, someone has committed adultery." The Prophet turned away from him, but he repeated the statement three times and then a fourth time. The Prophet ﷺ came down and said, "Once he mentioned it in front of me, so I acknowledged it as adultery four times." Then he came down and commanded us to dig a pit for him, which was not too deep, and he was stoned. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then left, feeling sorry and sad. We followed him until he settled in a place, and then it was kept secret from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said to me, "O Abu Dhar, did you not see that forgiveness was granted to your companion and he was admitted to Paradise?"
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْآخِرَ قَدْ زَنَى فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ ثُمَّ رَبَّعَ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُ بِالزِّنَا فَرَدَّدَهُ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَأَمَرَنَا فَحَفَرْنَا لَهُ حَفِيرَةً لَيْسَتْ بِالطَّوِيلَةِ فَرُجِمَ فَارْتَحَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَئِيبًا حَزِينًا فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى نَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ غُفِرَ لَهُ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ
