[Machine] A man came to Abdullah, perfumed. When Abdullah saw him and smelled the scent, he said, "Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from his evil." The man approached him and told him that he had committed adultery with his neighbor's slave girl. Abdullah advised him, "Seek forgiveness from Allah, turn back to Him, and conceal it. If you are able to free her, then free her."  

الطبراني:٩١٩١حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ مُتَحَنِّطًا فَلَمَّا رَآهُ وَوَجَدَ رِيحَ الْحَنُوطِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ» قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَقِمْ عَلِيَّ الْحَدَّ قَالَ «اسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَتُبْ إِلَيْهِ وَاسْتُرْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَعْتِقَهَا فَأَعْتِقْهَا»
