Abu Umamah said: A man came to the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah! I have committed a crime which involves prescribed punishment so inflict it on me. He said: Have you not performed ablution when you came? He said: Yes, He said: Have you not prayed with us when we prayed ? He said: Yes. He then said: Go off, for Allah, the Exalted, forgave you.
