Musnad Ahmad 22266

Translation

✧ A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have committed an offense requiring a prescribed punishment, so enforce it upon me.' He said: 'The Prophet ﷺ remained silent.' Then he repeated it, saying it to him another time. Then the prayer was called, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed, then departed. Abu Umāmah said: 'The man followed him.' He said: 'And I followed him.' ʿAbd al-Ṣamad said in his narration: 'I departed with the Prophet ﷺ, and the man was following him, so that I might know what he would say to him.' He said: 'The man said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed an offense requiring a prescribed punishment, so enforce it upon me." He said: "The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Did you not perform ablution before leaving your house, and do it well, then pray with us?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven you your offense' or 'your sin' – ʿIkrimah was uncertain about it. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad said in his narration: 'I departed with the Prophet ﷺ, and the man followed him.'"
