حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي قَتَادَةُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ الْمَازِنِيِّ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَمْشِي مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا آخِذٌ بِيَدِهِ إِذْ عَرَضَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ کَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَی فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْنِي الْمُؤْمِنَ فَيَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ کَنَفَهُ وَيَسْتُرُهُ فَيَقُولُ أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ کَذَا أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ کَذَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَيْ رَبِّ حَتَّی إِذَا قَرَّرَهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ وَرَأَی فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ هَلَکَ قَالَ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْکَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا لَکَ الْيَوْمَ فَيُعْطَی کِتَابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْکَافِرُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيَقُولُ الْأَشْهَادُ هَؤُلَائِ الَّذِينَ کَذَبُوا عَلَی رَبِّهِمْ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَی الظَّالِمِينَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2441
Narrated Safwan bin Muhriz Al-Mazini: While I was walking with Ibn `Umar holding his hand, a man came in front of us and asked, "What have you heard from Allah's Apostle about An-Najwa?" Ibn `Umar said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Allah will bring a believer near Him and shelter him with His Screen and ask him: Did you commit such-and-such sins? He will say: Yes, my Lord. Allah will keep on asking him till he will confess all his sins and will think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I did screen your sins in the world and I forgive them for you today', and then he will be given the book of his good deeds. Regarding infidels and hypocrites (their evil acts will be exposed publicly) and the witnesses will say: These are the people who lied against their Lord. Behold! The Curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers." (11.18)
