Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ فَعَلَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى غَفَرَ لَهُ بِقَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ يَعْنِي ثَابِتًا.
English Translation
Affan told us, Hammad ibn Salama told us, Thabit told us, from Abdullah ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to a man: "Did you do such-and-such?" He said: "No, by Allah, besides whom there is no god, I did not do it." He said: Then Gabriel said to him: "He did do it, but Allah, the Exalted, has forgiven him for saying 'there is no god but Allah.'" Hammad said: This was not heard directly from Ibn Umar; there is a man between them, meaning Thabit.
