English Translation

Yazid ibn Harun told us, Hariz told us, Sulaym ibn Amir told us, from Abu Umamah, who said: A young man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to commit fornication." The people turned on him and rebuked him, saying, "Stop, stop!" But he said, "Bring him near," so he came close to him. He said: So he sat. He said: "Do you like it for your mother?" He said, "No, by Allah, may Allah make me your ransom." He said: "Nor do people like it for their mothers." He said: "Do you like it for your daughter?" He said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, may Allah make me your ransom." He said: "Nor do people like it for their daughters." He said: "Do you like it for your sister?" He said, "No, by Allah, may Allah make me your ransom." He said: "Nor do people like it for their sisters." He said: "Do you like it for your paternal aunt?" He said, "No, by Allah, may Allah make me your ransom." He said: "Nor do people like it for their paternal aunts." He said: "Do you like it for your maternal aunt?" He said, "No, by Allah, may Allah make me your ransom." He said: "Nor do people like it for their maternal aunts." He said: Then he placed his hand upon him and said: "O Allah, forgive his sin, purify his heart, and guard his chastity." The young man was never again inclined toward anything sinful after that. Abu al-Mughirah told us, Jarir told us, Sulaym ibn Amir told me, that Abu Umamah told him that a young lad came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him -- and he mentioned it.
