أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُيَيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ رَاحَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ ، فَخُطْوَتَاهُ : خُطْوَةٌ تَمْحُو سَيِّئَةً ، وَخَطْوَةٌ تَكْتُبُ حَسَنَةً ، ذَاهِبًا وَرَاجِعًا " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : الْعَرَبُ تُضِيفُ الْفِعْلَ إِلَى الأَمْرِ ، كَمَا تُضِيفُ إِلَى الْفَاعِلِ ، وَرُبَّمَا أَضَافَتِ الْفِعْلَ إِلَى الْفِعْلِ نَفْسِهِ كَمَا تُضِيفُهُ إِلَى الأَمْرِ ، فَإِخْبَارُ ابْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ ، أَرَادَ بِهِ أَنَّ الْحَالِقَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ لا نَفْسُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأُضِيفَ الْفِعْلُ إِلَى الأَمْرِ ، كَمَا يُضَافُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْفَاعِلِ ، وَفِي خَبَرِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ : خُطْوَةٌ تَمْحُو سَيِّئَةً ، أَضَافَ الْفِعْلَ إِلَى الْفِعْلِ ، لا أَنَّ الْخُطْوَةَ تَمْحُو السَّيِّئَةَ نَفْسَهَا ، وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلا هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَفَضَّلُ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ بِذَلِكِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to the mosque near him for congregational prayer, then one of his two steps erases a sin and the other step records a good deed. This happens both when he goes and when he returns." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Among the Arabs, sometimes an action is attributed to the original matter. Just as they attribute it to the doer, similarly, sometimes the action is attributed to the act itself, just as it is attributed to the command. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) has informed that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) shaved his head at the time of the Farewell Hajj, meaning that the one who shaved (the barber) did so; it does not mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did it himself. So here, the action is attributed to the command, just as it is attributed to the doer. Whereas, regarding the narration transmitted from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) which we have mentioned earlier, that one step erases a sin, here the action is attributed to the act itself. Because the step does not erase the existence of the sin, rather Allah Almighty bestows this favor upon the servant.
