Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have committed a hadd offense, so establish the hadd punishment upon me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. Then the prayer was established, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the prayer, and when he finished with salam, that man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a hadd offense, so establish it upon me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When you came, had you performed ablution?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Go, indeed Allah Almighty has forgiven you."
