Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي مَلِيحِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ حَدَّ اللَّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ أَتَاهُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ حَدَّ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ فَدَعَاهُ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ تُحْسِنْ الطُّهُورَ أَوْ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ شَهِدْتَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَنَا آنِفًا قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَهِيَ كَفَّارَتُكَ.

Abu al-Nadr narrated to us: Shayban narrated to us, from Layth, from Abu Burdah b. Abi Musa, from Abu al-Malih b. Usamah, from Wathilah b. al-Asqa', who said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, one day when a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed one of the punishable offenses of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, so carry out upon me the punishment of Allah." He turned away from him. Then he came a second time, and he turned away from him. Then he said it a third time, and he turned away from him. Then the prayer was called, and when he had finished the prayer, the man came to him a fourth time and said, "I have committed one of the punishable offenses of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, so carry out upon me the punishment of Allah, Mighty and Majestic." He said: So he called him and said, "Did you not perform ablution well, or purification, then witness the prayer with us just now?" He said, "Yes indeed." He said, "Go, for it is your expiation."
