Ibn Sirin states: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who commits fornication with a woman: may he then marry her? He said: "For as long as the two of them stay together, they will be counted as fornicators." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: "What is your view if the two of them repent and reform?" He said: (Allah Almighty says:) "And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons sins, and He knows what you do." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) kept repeating this verse, until we thought that he saw no harm in it.
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Ibn Sirin did not hear from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him); its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy) and are the narrators of the Sahih. He has also recorded it with a connected chain, which contains Abu Janab, who is da'if (weak) because of his tadlis, and he
reported this narration with "an'anah" (using "from").
