Sunan Ibn Majah 1398
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that a man did something
with
a woman that was less than adultery; I do not know how far it
went,
but it was less than adultery. He went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
told
him about that. Then Allah revealed the words:
“And perform the
prayer, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night.
Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for
the mindful.” [11:114] He said: “O Messenger of Allah, is this
only
for me?” He said: “It is for everyone who acts upon it.”
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَصَابَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ يَعْنِي مَا دُونَ الْفَاحِشَةِ فَلاَ أَدْرِي مَا بَلَغَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ دُونَ الزِّنَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ ‏{أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ}‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِي هَذِهِ قَالَ ‏
"‏ لِمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏
