أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، وَالْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ. قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي لَقِيتُ امْرَأَةً فِي الْبُسْتَانِ فَضَمَمْتُهَا إِلَيَّ وَبَاشَرْتُهَا وَقَبَّلْتُهَا، وَفَعَلْتُ بِهَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَنِّي لَمْ أُجَامِعْهَا، فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ، فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَوْ لِلنَّاسِ كَافَّةً ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا، بَلْ لِلنَّاسِ كَافَّةً

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I met a woman in the garden and embraced her, touched her, and kissed her, and did everything with her except that I did not have intercourse with her." The Prophet ﷺ fell silent, and this verse was revealed: "Indeed, good deeds remove evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who remember." So the Prophet ﷺ called him and recited it to him. Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, is this for him specifically or for all people?" He said: "No, rather for all people."
