1774 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ طُرِحَ لَهُ فِرَاشُهُ، أَوْ يُوضَعُ لَهُ سَرِيرُهُ وَرَاءَ أُسْطُوَانَةِ التَّوْبَةِ»

Commentary
'The Pillar of Repentance' is a particular pillar in the Prophet's Mosque. Abu Lubâbah ﷺ, a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ, made a mistake and when he realised the mistake, he tied himself to that pillar on a condition that he would remain tied until Allâh forgave him. Three days later, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ received, through revelation, good news of Abu Lubâbah's repentance being accepted, and thereupon Allâh's Messenger ﷺ himself came and untied him.
