Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3112

Translation

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I fondled a woman who lives on the outskirts of Madinah, and I did with her what is less than intercourse, and here I am, so judge in my case as you will." So ʿUmar said to him: "Allah covered ˹your sins˺, so you should have ˹kept them˺ covered yourself." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not give him any reply. The man left but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man after him to call him back. He recited to him: "And perform Salāh, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful (Hūd 11:114)" until the end of the āyah. A man among the people said: "Is this specific for him?" He ﷺ said: 'No. Rather for all of the people."

Notes

• Abū ʿĪsá said: This ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīiḥ. This is how it was reported by Isrāʾīl > Simãk > Ibrāhīm > ʿAlqamah and al-Aswad > ʿAbdullãh from the Prophet ﷺ and it is similar. Sufyān al-Thawrī reported > Simāk > Ibrāhīm > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Yazīd > ʿAbdullāh from the Prophet ﷺ similarly اnd the narrations of these people are more correct than the narration of al-Thawrī. Shuʿbah reported it > Simãk b. Ḥarb > Ibrāhīm > al-Aswad > ʿAbdullãh from the Prophet ﷺ similarly. Muḥammad b. Yaḥyá al-Naysabūrī reported > Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Sufyān > al-Aʿmash and Simāk > Ibrāhīm > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Yazīd > ʿAbdullāh from the Prophet ﷺ in the same meaning. Maḥmūd b. Ghaylān reported > al-Faḍl b. Mūsá > Sufyān > Simāk > Ibrāhīm > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Yazīd > ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd from the Prophet ﷺ in the same meaning but he did not mention "from al-Aʿmash" in it. And Sulaymãn At-Taymī reported this ḥadīth from Abū ʿUthmãn al-Nahdi > Ibn Masʿūd from the Prophet ﷺ.
