[7007] 45 – (2765) Abü ti- M10— to [Vv] Umâmah said: "While the Messenger of Allah was in the Masjid and we were sitting with him, a man came and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so carry it out on LiL :J t1- :L_T me.' The Messenger of Allah remained silent and he said again: '0 Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so carry it out on me.' (The Messenger of Allah ) remained silent and he said it a third time, and the Iqâmah was called for prayer. When the Prophet of Allah left, the man followed him, and I (Abü Umâmah) also followed the Messenger of Allah to see how he would answer the man. "The man caught up with the Messenger of Allah and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so carry it out on me." Abü Umâmah said: "The Messenger of Allah said to him: 'When you came out of your house, did you perform Wutâ' and do it well?' He said: 'Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Then did you attend the prayer with us?' He said: 'Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah said to him: 'Then Allah has forgiven your transgression' – or 'your sin." Chapter 8.
