1174 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَرَّ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ شَوْكٍ فَرَفَعَهُ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَغُفِرَ لَهُ» وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: «فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ»
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Once a man passed by a thorny branch and removed it from the path, so that man's sins were forgiven. The narrator named Sufyan sometimes narrated these words: "Allah Almighty accepted his deed and forgave him."
