bukhari:7514Musaddad > Abū ʿAwānah > Qatādah > Ṣafwān b. Muḥriz > a man Saʾal Ibn ʿUmar Kayf

A man asked Ibn ʿUmar, "What have you heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding An-Najwa?" He said, "Everyone of you will come close to His Lord Who will screen him from the people and say to him, 'Did you do so-and-so?' He will reply, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say, 'Did you do so-and-so?' He will reply, 'Yes.' So Allah will question him and make him confess, and then Allah will say, 'I screened your sins in the world and forgive them for you today.' "  

البخاري:٧٥١٤حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَيْفَ

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى قَالَ يَدْنُو أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِ حَتَّى يَضَعَ كَنَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ أَعَمِلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ وَيَقُولُ عَمِلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَرِّرُهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنِّي سَتَرْتُ عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ وَقَالَ آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ

A man asked Ibn ʿUmar, "What did you hear Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying regarding An-Najwa (secret talk between Allah and His believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)?" He said, "(The Prophet ﷺ said), "One of you will come close to his Lord till He will shelter him in His screen and say: Did you commit such-and-such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say: Did you commit such and such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' So Allah will make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, 'I screened them (your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you."'
