حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام قَدْ فَعَلَ وَلَكِنْ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ بِقَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ يَعْنِي ثَابِتًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5361
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to a man: "Did you do Such and such?" He said: No, by the One besides Whom there is no other god, I did not do it. He said: Jibreel (AS)told him: He did do it, but he has been forgiven because he said there is no god but Allah.
