It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Allah has a sense of protective jealousy and the believer has a sense of protective jealousy, too, and the protective jealousy of Allah is provoked when the believer does something that is forbidden to him."'

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَبِى عُثْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغَارُ وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَغَارُ وَغَيْرَةُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَأْتِىَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ».

Asma' bint Abi Bakr narrated that she heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "Nothing has a greater sense of protective jealousy than Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He."

قَالَ يَحْيَى وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ».

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud that a man kissed a woman, then he came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and told him about that. Then it was revealed: "And perform As'-Salat, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. 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)." The man said: "Is that just for me, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "It is for anyone who does that among my Ummah."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِىُّ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِى كَامِلٍ - حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِىُّ عَنْ أَبِى عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَصَابَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ قُبْلَةً فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ - قَالَ - فَنَزَلَتْ (أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ) قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَلِىَ هَذِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ « لِمَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِى ».

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "A man came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I was intimate with a woman on the outskirts of Al-Madinah, and I did something with her that was less than intercourse. Here I am, judge me as you wish.' 'Umar said to him: 'Allah had concealed you, why didn't you conceal yourself?' But the Prophet (s.a.w) did not answer. The man got up and left, then the Prophet (s.a.w) sent a man to call him back, and he recited this Verse to him: "And perform As-Salat, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. 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)". A man among the people said: 'O Prophet of Allah, is it only for him?' He said: 'No, it is for all the people."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ وَالأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى عَالَجْتُ امْرَأَةً فِى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَإِنِّى أَصَبْتُ مِنْهَا مَا دُونَ أَنْ أَمَسَّهَا فَأَنَا هَذَا فَاقْضِ فِىَّ مَا شِئْتَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ لَقَدْ سَتَرَكَ اللَّهُ لَوْ سَتَرْتَ نَفْسَكَ - قَالَ - فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- شَيْئًا فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَجُلاً دَعَاهُ وَتَلاَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ (أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ ) فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ هَذَا لَهُ خَاصَّةً قَالَ « بَلْ لِلنَّاسِ كَافَّةً ».

A Hadith like that of Abu Al-Ahwas was narrated from 'Abdullah (no. 7004) from the Prophet, and he said in his Hadith: "Mu'adh said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is it only for him or for all of us?' He said: 'No, it is for all of you."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعِجْلِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ خَالِهِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِى الأَحْوَصِ وَقَالَ فِى حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لِهَذَا خَاصَّةً أَوْ لَنَا عَامَّةً قَالَ « بَلْ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً ».

It was narrated that Anas said: "A man came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so carry it out on me.'" He said: "The time for prayer came, so he prayed with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) When the prayer was over he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so punish me according to the Book of Allah.' He (s.a.w) said: 'Did you attend the prayer with us?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have been forgiven.'"

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْحُلْوَانِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ - قَالَ - وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْ فِىَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ« هَلْ حَضَرْتَ الصَّلاَةَ مَعَنَا ». قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ « قَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ ».

Abu Umamah said: "While the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was in the Masjid and we were sitting with him, a man came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so carry it out on me.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) remained silent and he said again: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so . carry it out on me.' (The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) remained silent and he said it a third time, and the Iqamah was called for prayer. When the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) left, the man followed him, and I (Abu Umamah) also followed the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to see how he would answer the man. "The man caught up with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin that may dictate a punishment, so carry it out on me.'" Abu Umamah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to him: 'When you came out of your house, did you perform Wudu' and do it well?' He said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Then did you attend the prayer with us?' He said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to him: 'Then Allah has forgiven your transgression' - or 'your sin.'"

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْجَهْضَمِىُّ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَدَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُمَامَةَ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى الْمَسْجِدِ وَنَحْنُ قُعُودٌ مَعَهُ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ. فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثُمَّ أَعَادَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ. فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فَاتَّبَعَ الرَّجُلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حِينَ انْصَرَفَ وَاتَّبَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنْظُرُ مَا يَرُدُّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَلَحِقَ الرَّجُلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ - قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ - فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَرَأَيْتَ حِينَ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ تَوَضَّأْتَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ الْوُضُوءَ ». قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « ثُمَّ شَهِدْتَ الصَّلاَةَ مَعَنَا ». فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ حَدَّكَ - أَوْ قَالَ - ذَنْبَكَ ».

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Among those who came before you there was a man who killed ninety-nine people, then he asked who the most knowledgeable man on earth was, and he was directed to a monk. He went to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine people; could he repent? The monk said no, so he killed him, thus completing one hundred. Then he asked who the most knowledgeable man on earth was, and he was directed to a man of knowledge, and said that he had killed one hundred people; could he repent? He said: 'Yes, who could stand between him and repentance? Go to such and such a land, for therein there are people who worship Allah, so go and worship Allah with them, and do not go back to your own land for it is a bad land.' So he set out, then when he was halfway there, death came upon him. The Angels of mercy and the Angels of torment disputed over him. The Angels of mercy said: 'He came repenting and turning whole-heatedly towards Allah.' The Angels of torment said: 'He never did anything good.' Then an angel in the form of a man came to them and they appointed him (to decide) between them. He said: 'Measure the distance between the two lands, and whichever is closer, that is where he belongs.' So they measured it and they found that he was closer to the land that he was heading for, so the Angels of mercy took him.'' Qatadah said: "Al-Hasan said: 'We were told that when death came to him, he leaned forward (towards the land he was heading for).'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِى الصِّدِّيقِ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ أَنَّ نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَسَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَاهِبٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنَ تَوْبَةٍ فَقَالَ لاَ. فَقَتَلَهُ فَكَمَّلَ بِهِ مِائَةً ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَالِمٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ مِائَةَ نَفْسٍ فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَمَنْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ التَّوْبَةِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنَّ بِهَا أُنَاسًا يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مَعَهُمْ وَلاَ تَرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ فَإِنَّهَا أَرْضُ سَوْءٍ. فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى إِذَا نَصَفَ الطَّرِيقَ أَتَاهُ الْمَوْتُ فَاخْتَصَمَتْ فِيهِ مَلاَئِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَمَلاَئِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ فَقَالَتْ مَلاَئِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ جَاءَ تَائِبًا مُقْبِلاً بِقَلْبِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ. وَقَالَتْ مَلاَئِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ. فَأَتَاهُمْ مَلَكٌ فِى صُورَةِ آدَمِىٍّ فَجَعَلُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ قِيسُوا مَا بَيْنَ الأَرْضَيْنِ فَإِلَى أَيَّتِهِمَا كَانَ أَدْنَى فَهُوَ لَهُ. فَقَاسُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ أَدْنَى إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِى أَرَادَ فَقَبَضَتْهُ مَلاَئِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ ». قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَتَاهُ الْمَوْتُ نَأَى بِصَدْرِهِ.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri from the Prophet (s.a.w): "A man killed ninety-nine people, then he started asking whether he could repent. He came to a monk and asked him, and he said: 'You cannot repent,' so he killed the monk. Then he started asking, then he left that town for another town where there were righteous people. When he was part-way there, death overtook him, and he died when he was leaning forward. The Angels of mercy and the Angels of torment disputed over him, but he was closer to the righteous town by a handspan, so he was counted as one of its people."

It was narrated that Abu Musa said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'When the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will give every Muslim a Jew or a Christian, and He will say: "This is your ransom from the Fire."
