It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have committed (a sin that incurs) one of the hadd punishments of Allah, so carry out Allah's hadd on me and purify me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Is it not so that you performed ablution and performed it well, purified yourself and did so well, and just now attended the prayer with us?' He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Go, that is your expiation.'"
This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain, and Hashim bin al-Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
