English translation
4685. Narrated Ṣafwān bin Muḥriz : While Ibn ‘Umar was performing the Tawāf (around the Ka’bah), a man came up to him and said, “O Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān!” or said, “O Ibn ‘Umar! Did you hear anything from the Prophet ﷺ about An-Najwa?”(1) Ibn ‘Umar said, “I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, ‘The believer will be brought near his Lord.’” (Hishām, a subnarrator said, reporting the Prophet’s words,) “The believer will come near (his Lord) till his Lord covers him with His Screen and makes him confess his sins. (Allāh will ask him,) ‘Do you know (that you did) such and such sin?’ He will say twice, 'Yes, I know (I did commit those sins).' Then Allāh will say, 'I did screen your sins in the world and I forgive them for you today.' Then the record of his good deeds will be folded up.(1) As for the others or the disbelievers, it (their evil acts) will be announced publicly before the witnesses: '...These are ones who lied against their Lord...' (V.11:18) (See H. 2441)
