أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ کُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَقَالَ تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَی أَنْ لَا تُشْرِکُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْآيَةَ فَمَنْ وَفَّی مِنْکُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَی اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا فَسَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَهُوَ إِلَی اللَّهِ إِنْ شَائَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَائَ غَفَرَ لَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5017
It was narrated that ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit said: “We were with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم in a gathering and he said: ‘Give me your pledge that you will not associate anything with Allah, you will not steal and you will not have unlawful sexual relations’ — and then he recited the Verse to them. ‘Whoever among you fulfills this pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those actions and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, conceals him, it is up to Allah: If He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.” (Sahih)
