[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man, 'Did you do this?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, besides whom there is no deity, I did not do it.' Jibreel ﷺ said to him, 'Yes, you did, but Allah the Most High has forgiven you with the statement 'There is no deity except Allah.' Hammad said, 'I did not hear this from Ibn Umar, and between them there was a man, meaning Thabit.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ قَدْ فَعَلَ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى غَفَرَ لَهُ بِقَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ يَعْنِي ثَابِتًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man, "Did you do such and such?" The man replied, "No, by the One whom there is no deity but Him, I did not do it." The Prophet said, "Verily, Jibril (Gabriel) has already said that you did it, but your sins have been forgiven by saying, 'There is no deity but Allah.'" Hammād said, "I have not heard this from Ibn 'Umar. Between them is a man called Thābit."  

أحمد:٥٣٦١ – حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَلَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَدْ فَعَلَ وَلَكِنْ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ بِقَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ يَعْنِي ثَابِتًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man, "O Fulan, did you do such and such?" The man replied, "No, by Allah, the One whom there is no deity but Him, I did not do it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ knew that he had indeed done it. He repeated this to him several times, and each time the man would swear by Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah absolve you of your lie because of your truthfulness to 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no deity but Allah)." And it is narrated on the authority of Thabit from Ibn 'Umar.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man, "Did you do such and such?" The man replied, "No, I swear by Allah, the only One worthy of worship, that I did not." Then, Jibril ﷺ came to him and said, "Yes, indeed he did it, but his sin was forgiven for saying 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.' And it was narrated from another source as well."
