6823. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه : While I was with the Prophet ﷺ a man came and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me." The Prophet ﷺ did not ask him what he had done. Then the time for Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer) became due and the man offered Ṣalāt (prayer) along with the Prophet ﷺ, and when the Prophet ﷺ had finished his Ṣalāt, (prayer) the man again got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allāh's Laws." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Haven't you offered Ṣalāt (prayer) with us?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has forgiven your sin." Or said, "...your legally punishable sin."

6823 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ القُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الكِلاَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلاَةَ، قَامَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا، فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ، أَوْ قَالَ: حَدَّكَ "
