Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10951

وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ أَصْبَحَ عَلَى بَابِهِ مَكْتُوبٌ : أَذْنَبْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَذَا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ ، فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتَكَاثَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَهُ ، قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَعْطَانَا ذَلِكَ مَكَانَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ : وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ ابْنَ سِيرِينَ مَا أَظُنُّهُ سَمِعَ مِنَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: When a man from the Children of Israel committed a sin, it would be written on his door: "You have committed such-and-such a sin, and its expiation is to do such-and-such a deed." Its purpose was that the person would regard his sin as grave and do that deed. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I would not like Allah Almighty to have given us that situation in place of this verse, and the verse is this: Allah Almighty says: 'And whoever does an evil deed or wrongs himself, then seeks forgiveness from Allah Almighty, will find Allah Almighty Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih; however, I do not think that Ibn Sirin heard from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and Allah knows best.
