Hadith 4290

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، وَالْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أَخَذْتُ امْرَأَةً فِي الْبُسْتَانِ ، فَفَعَلْتُ بِهَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُجَامِعْهَا ، قَبَّلْتُهَا وَلَزِمْتُهَا ، وَلَمْ أَفْعَلْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ ، فَافْعَلْ بِي مَا شِئْتَ ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا ، فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : لَقَدْ سَتَرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ، لَوْ سَتَرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ! قَالَ : فَأَتْبَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَصَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " رُدُّوهُ عَلَيَّ " ، فَرَدُّوهُ عَلَيْهِ ، " فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ : وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ سورة هود آية 114 إِلَى الذَّاكِرِينَ سورة هود آية 114 ، فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ : أَلَهُ وَحْدَهُ أَمْ لِلنَّاسِ كَافَّةً يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " بَلْ لِلنَّاسِ كَافَّةً " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! I met a woman in a garden, I pulled her towards myself, embraced her, kissed her, and did everything with her except for intercourse. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent for a while, and the man left. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if he had concealed his sin, Allah would have concealed it for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked around and said: "Call him back to me." So the people called him back. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited this verse before him: «﴿وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ﴾» [هود : 114] "Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at some hours of the night. Indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds. That is a reminder for those who remember." Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Is this command specific to him? He replied: "No, rather this command is for every person of my Ummah who commits such an act."
