ذِكْرُ تَكْفِيرِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ الْحَدَّ عَنْ مُرْتَكِبِهِ

ibnhibban:1727Ibn Salm > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Ibrāhīm > al-Walīd > al-Awzāʿī > Shaddād Abū ʿAmmār > Wāthilah b. al-Asqaʿ

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin, so please establish the punishment upon me." He turned away from him. Then he said again, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin, so please establish the punishment upon me." Again, he turned away from him. Then the prayer was performed, and when he finished, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin, so please establish the punishment upon me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did you perform ablution when you came?" He said, "Yes." He asked, "Did you pray with us?" He said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then go, for surely Allah has forgiven you."

While I was with the Prophet ﷺ a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me'.' The Prophet ﷺ did not ask him what he had done. Then the time for the prayer became due and the man offered prayer along with the Prophet ﷺ , and when the Prophet ﷺ had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Haven't you prayed with us?' He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has forgiven your sin." or said, "....your legally punishable sin."
