Riyad as-Salihin 435 (Book) #38820
The Power of Prayer and Forgiveness

SUMMARY: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and confessed his sin, but the Prophet (ﷺ) forgave him after he performed Salat with him.

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin liable of ordained punishment. So execute punishment on me". Messenger of Allah did not ask him about it, and then came the (time for) Salat (prayers). So he performed Salat with Messenger of Allah . When Messenger of Allah finished Salat, the man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have committed a sin. So execute the Ordinance of Allah upon me". He asked, "Have you performed Salat with us?" "Yes", he replied. Messenger of Allah said, "Verily, Allah has forgiven you". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أنس، رضي الله عنه ، قال‏:‏ جاء رجل إلى النبي، فقال‏:‏ يا رسول الله أصبت حداً، فأقمه علي، وحضرت الصلاة، فصلى مع رسول الله، ، فلما قضى الصلاة قال ‏:‏ يارسول الله إنى أصبت حداً، فأقم في كتاب الله‏.‏ قال “هل حضرت معنا الصلاة‏؟‏‏ "‏ قال‏:‏ نعم ‏.‏ قال‏:‏ قد غفر لك‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ('‏وقوله ‏ ‏اصبت حداً‏ ‏ معناه ‏:‏ معصية توجب التعزير، وليس المراد الحد الشرعي الحقيقى كحد الزنا والخمر وغيرهما، فإن هذه الحدود لا تسقط بالصلاة، ولا يجوز للإمام تركها')

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of prayer and forgiveness. It tells us that when we confess our sins to Allah through prayer, He will forgive us. The man in this hadith was so sure that he had committed a sin worthy of punishment that he asked for it himself. However, when he prayed with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ his sins were forgiven without any punishment being given. This teaches us that if we sincerely repent for our wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness from Allah through prayer then He will forgive us no matter how bad our sins may be. We should also remember to always seek forgiveness from those whom we have wronged as well as asking for it from Allah Himself.
