4468. It was narrated that 'Alqamah and Al-Aswad said: "Abdullāh said: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ, and said: "I fooled around with a woman in the furthest part of Al-Madinah, and did something with her that was less than intercourse. Here I am, do with me as you wish." Umar said: "Allāh covered you; why
didn't you cover yourself?" The Prophet ﷺ did not give any reply, so the man went away. Then the Prophet ﷺ sent a man after him to call him back and he recited to him: "And perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Salāt), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i. e. the five compulsory Salāt (prayers)]. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i. e. small sins). That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice)".[1] A man among the people said: "O Messenger of Allāh, is it only for him or for all the people?" He said: "(It is) for all the people." (Saḥīḥ)

Commentary
If Allāh has covered one's sin, it is better that they cover it and repent sincerely with remorse to Allāh.
