[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man, "Did you do such and such?" The man replied, "No, by the One besides whom there is no deity except Him, O Messenger of Allah, I did not do it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, indeed you did do it, but it has been forgiven for you due to your sincerity."  

أحمد:٥٩٨٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَقَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ قَالَ بَلَى قَدْ فَعَلْتَ وَلَكِنْ غُفِرَ لَكَ بِالْإِخْلَاصِ
