جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2496
Ibn 'Umar said: I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) narrating a hadith, not just once or twice, even seven times, but I heard him saying it more than that. I heard him saying: 'There was a man called Al-Kifl among the children of Isra'il who did not restrain himself from committing sins. A woman came to him and he gave her sixty Dinar so he could sleep with her. When he sat up from her, as a man sits up from a woman, she began to tremble and cry, so he said: Why are you crying, did I do something to harm you? She said: No. But it is because of what I did, I only did so out of need. He said: You did this without having done (it before), so leave me, and it (the money) is for you. And then he said: By Allah! I will never disobey Allah after that. He died during the night and morning came with: Indeed Allah has forgiven Al-Kifl written upon his door.
