حَدَّثَنَا أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، أخبرنا العباس بن الوليد بن مَزْيَد البَيروتي، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن شعيب بن شابُور، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن [أبي] مسلم [عن أبيه] (3) عن عطاء بن أبي رباح، عن أبي هريرة: أن فتًى من أبناء المهاجرين أتى رسولَ الله ﷺ، فقال: يا رسولَ الله، استغفِرْ لي، فتشاغلَ عنه رسولُ الله ﷺ، فردَّدَ ذلك على رسول الله ﷺ ثلاثَ مرّات، فلما رأى أنَّ رسول الله ﷺ لا يَستغفرُ له، قال الفتى بينَ يدي رسولِ الله ﷺ ثلاث مرّات: اللهمَّ اغْفِرْ لي، اللهمَّ اغْفِرْ لي، اللهمَّ اغْفِرْ لي، فإنَّ رسولَكَ لم يَستغفِرْ لي، فلما انصرفَ الفتى نزلَ جبريل ﵇ إلى رسول الله ﷺ، فقال: يا رسولَ الله، هلَّا استغفرتَ للفتى، فإنَّ الله قد غَفَرَ له، فالحَقْه حتَّى تُعلِمَه أنَّ الله قد غَفَرَ له، وقُل له يَستغفِرْ لك، فأحضرَ رسولُ الله ﷺ في أَثَره حتَّى لَحِقَه، فلمَّا لحِقَه قال: "يا فتى، إنَّ الله ﷿ قد غَفَرَ لك، فاستغفِرْ لي" فقال الفتى: اللهم أستغفِرُكَ لرسولِك، اللهمَّ إني أستغفرُك لرسولِك ونبيِّك كما غفرتَ لي، إنَّك واسعُ المغفرة، وأنت أرحمُ الراحمين (1).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a young man from among the sons of the Muhajirun came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), pray for forgiveness for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was occupied with something. He repeated his request three times, and when he saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not seeking forgiveness for him, the young man said three times before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Allahumma-ghfir li, Allahumma-ghfir li, Allahumma-ghfir li, fa inna rasulaka lam yastaghfir li' (O Allah, forgive me; O Allah, forgive me; O Allah, forgive me, for Your Messenger has not sought forgiveness for me). When the young man left, Jibril (peace be upon him) came down to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), why did you not seek forgiveness for this young man? Allah has already forgiven him. So go after him until you inform him that Allah has forgiven him, and tell him to seek forgiveness for you. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went quickly after him until he caught up with him, and when he reached him he said: "O young man, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has forgiven you, so now seek forgiveness for me." The young man said: 'Allahumma astaghfiruka li-rasulika, Allahumma inni astaghfiruka li-rasulika wa nabiyyika kama ghafarta li, innaka wasi'ul-maghfirah, wa anta arhamur-rahimin' (O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for Your Messenger; O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for Your Messenger and Your Prophet just as You have forgiven me; indeed You are vast in forgiveness, and You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy).

(3) في النسخ: محمد بن مسلم عن عطاء بن أبي رباح، وجاء على الصواب في "تلخيص الذهبي" و "إتحاف المهرة" (19532).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In the manuscripts "Muhammad bin Muslim from Ata bin Abi Rabah" is recorded, whereas in "Talkhis al-Dhahabi" and "Ithaf al-Maharah" (19532) it is given with the correct name.
(1) باطل منكر، وهذا إسناد فيه محمد بن أبي مسلم مجهول كما قال المصنّف، وذكره الحافظ ابن حجر في "اللسان" وقال عنه: جاء في إسناد بمتن يتبيَّن بطلانه من سياقه، قلنا: وأبوه كذلك لا يعرف، ولم نقف على أحد خرَّجه غير الحاكم. وانظر ما بعده.
Grading: This narration is "batil and munkar" (false and rejected).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In its chain is Muhammad bin Abi Muslim, a "majhul" narrator, as the author (al-Hakim) stated explicitly. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned him in "Lisan al-Mizan" and said that he came in a chain with a text whose falsity is evident from its own context. His father (Abu Muslim) is also unknown, and no one other than al-Hakim recorded it.
