CHAPTER: THE WORDS OF ALLAAH" THE GOOD DEEDS TAKE AWAY THE EVIL DEEDS"  

No. 6655

'Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that a person kissed a woman and he came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and made a mention of that to him. It was (on this occasion) that this verse was revealed:" And observe prayer at the (two) ends of the day and in the first hours of the night. Surely, good deeds take away evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful" (xi. 115). That person said: Allaah's Messenger, does it concern me only? He (the Prophet) said: It concerns every one of my Unimah, who acts according to it.

No. 6656

Ibn Mas'ud reported that a person came to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and told him that he had kissed a woman or touched her with his hand or did something like this.

No. 6657

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters that a person had taken liberty with a woman less than fomication. He came to 'Umar b. Khattab and he took it to be a serious offence. Then he came to Abu Bakr and he also took it to be a serious offence. Then he came the Allaahs Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and he made a mention of this to him. The rest of the hadith is the same.

'Abdullah reported that a person came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: Allaah's Messenger, I sported with a woman in the outskirts of Medina, and I have committed an offence short of fornication. Here I am (before you), kindly deliver verdict about me which you deem fit. Unar said: Allaah concealed your fault. You had better conceal it yourself also. Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), however, gave no reply to him. The man stood up and went away and Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) sent a person after him to call him and be recited this verse:" And observe prayer at the ends of the day and in the first hours of the night. Surely, good deeds take away evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful" (xi. 115). A person amongst the people said: Allaah's Prophet, does it concern this marn only? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: No, but the people at large.

No. 6659

This hadith has been transmitted by Abu al-Ahwas and in this (these words are) also found: Mu'adh said: Allaah's Messenger, does it concern this particular case or to all of us? And he (the Prophet) said: Of course, to all of you.

No. 6660

Anas reported that a person came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Allaah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves imposition of haad, so impose it upon me according to the Book of Allaah. Thereupon he said: Were you not present with us at the time of prayer? He said: Yes. Thereupon he said: You have been granted pardon.

No. 6661

Abu Umama reported: We were sitting in the mosque in the company of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). A person came there and said: Allaah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves the imposition of hadd upon me, so impose it upon me. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) kept silent. He repeated it and said: Allaah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves the imposition of hadd upon me, so impose it upon me. He (the Prophet) kept silent, and it was at this time that Iqama was pronounced for prayer (and the prayer was observed). And when Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had concluded the payer that person followed Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). Abu Umama said: I too followed Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) after he had concluded the prayer, so that I should know what answer he would give to that person. That person remained attached to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: Allaah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves imposition of hadd upon me, so impose it upon me. Abu Umama reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: Didn't you see that as you got out of the house, you performed ablution perfectly well. He said: Allaah's Messenger, of course. I did it. He again said to him: Then you observed prayer along with us. He said: Allaah's Messenger, yes, it is so. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him: Verily, Allaah has exempted you from the imposition of hadd, or he said. From your sin.

No. 6662

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: There was a person before you who had killed ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry about the learned persons of the world (who could show him the way to salvation). He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: No. He killed him also and thus completed one hundred. He then asked about the learned persons of the earth and he was directed to a scholar, and he told him that he had killed one hundred persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: Yes; what stands between you and the repentance? You better go to such and such land; there are people devoted to prayer and worship and you also worship along with them and do not come to the land of yours since it was an evil land (for you). So he went away and he had hardly covered half the distance when death came to him and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment. The angels of mercy said: This man has come as a penitant and remorseful to Allaah and the angels of punishment said: He has done no good at all. Then there came another angel in the form of a human being in order to decide between them. He said: You measure the land to which he has drawn near. They measured it and found him nearer to the land where he intended to go (the land of piety), and so the angels of mercy took possession of it. Qatada said that Hasan told him that it was said to them that as death approached him, he crawled upon his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of mercy.

No. 6663

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying that a man killed ninety-nine persons and then he began to make an inquiry whether there was any way left for him for repentance. He came to a monk and asked him about that, and he said: There is no chance for repentance for you. He killed the monk also and then began to make an inquiry and moved from one village to another village where there lived pious persons, and as he had covered some distance, he was overtaken by death, but he managed to crawl upon his chest (to the side nearer to the place where the pious men lived). He died and then there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment and (when it was measured) he was found to be nearer to the village where pious persons were living equal to the Space of a span and he was thus included among them.

No. 6664

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatida with the same chain of transmitters but (with this variation of wording):" Allaah commanded the earth (from where) he wanted to come out to move itself away and to the other earth (where he wanted to go) to draw nearer."
