Sunan Abi Dawud 2209 (Book 13, Hadith 35) #22500
Forgiveness for Thoughts

SUMMARY: Allah has forgiven the thoughts of Muslims, as long as they do not act upon them or speak them out loud.

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet as saying "Allah has ignored for my community what comes to their mind, so long as they do not act or pronounce words to that effect".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لأُمَّتِي عَمَّا لَمْ تَتَكَلَّمْ بِهِ أَوْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ وَبِمَا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا
