[Machine] A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ when I heard a man reciting, 'Say, O disbelievers' [Surah Al-Kafirun 1], until he finished it. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'This has absolved him of shirk (associating partners with Allah).' Then we continued walking and heard another man reciting, 'Say, He is Allah, [who is] One' [Surah Al-Ikhlas 1]. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'As for this, he has been forgiven.'"

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} [الكافرون 1] حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا فَقَالَ «قَدْ بَرِئَ هَذَا مِنَ الشِّرْكِ» ثُمَّ سِرْنَا فَسَمِعَ آخَرَ يَقْرَأُ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ} [الإخلاص 1] فَقَالَ «أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ»

[Machine] A man, who was not mentioned by the Prophet's companions that he had heard a man, meaning the Prophet, reciting "Say, O disbelievers," said, "As for this, it means that he has been cleared of polytheism," and he heard another reciting "Say, He is Allah, the One." So he said, "As for this, he has been forgiven."

عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ قَالَ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَسَمِعَ آخَرَ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ

A man from the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ narrated: I was traveling with the Prophet ﷺ when I heard a man reciting "Say: O disbelievers!" (Kāfirūn, 109:1) until he completed it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "He has been absolved from committing shrik (associating partners with Allah.)" Then we continued our journey and heard another person reciting "Say: He is Allah, the One." (Ikhlāṣ 112:1) The Prophet ﷺ said, "As for this person, his sins have been forgiven."
