"عَنِ ابْنِ مسْعُودٍ قَالَ: سَتَكُونُ أُمُورٌ فَمَنْ رَضِيهَا مِمَّنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا كَانَ كمَنْ شَهِدَهَا وَمَنْ كَرهَهَا مِمَّنْ شَهِدَها فَهُوَ كمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا".

The Prophet ﷺ said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا عُمِلَتِ الْخَطِيئَةُ فِي الأَرْضِ كَانَ مَنْ شَهِدَهَا فَكَرِهَهَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَنْكَرَهَا كَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا وَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَرَضِيَهَا كَانَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا
[Machine] "I said to Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, Ibn Mas'ud used to say, 'Indeed, these matters will be ambiguous, so whoever is pleased with them, despite being absent from them, is like the one who witnessed them. And whoever dislikes them, despite having witnessed them, is like the one who was absent from them. This is truly astonishing.'"
قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَةٌ فَمَنْ رَضِيَهَا مِمَّنَ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَهُوَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا وَمَنْ كَرِهَهَا مِمَّنْ شَهِدَهَا فَهُوَ كَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَأَعْجَبَهُ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4345)
إِذَا عُمِلَ بِالْخَطِيئَةِ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَانَ مَنْ شَهِدَهَا فَكَرِهَهَا كَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا وَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَرَضِيَهَا كَانَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا
[Machine] I heard Ibn Mas'ud saying, "If a sin is committed among the people, whoever is content with it as if he is absent from it, it is as if he witnessed it. And whoever dislikes it as if he witnessed it, it is as if he is absent from it." And this was narrated from another source in an elevated manner.
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِذَا عُمِلَتْ فِي النَّاسِ خَطِيئَةٌ فَمَنْ رَضِيَهَا مِمَّنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَهُوَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا وَمَنْ كَرِهَهَا مِمَّنْ شَهِدَهَا فَهُوَ كَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا وَرُوِيَ هَذَا مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مَرْفُوعًا
The Prophet ﷺ said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4345)
"إذا عُمِلَتْ الخطِيئةُ في الأرضِ كانَ مَنْ شَهِدها فكَرِهها كمنْ غابَ عنْها، ومَنْ غابَ عنْها فرَضِيَها كانَ كمَنْ شَهدِها" .
"مَنْ شَهِدَ أَمْرًا فَكَرهَهُ، كان كَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهُ، وَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَرَضِيَ بِهِ، كان كَمَنْ شَهدَهَا".
