Sunan Abi Dawud 4690 (Book 42, Hadith 95) #24981
The Effects of Fornication on Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that when a person commits fornication, their faith departs from them and returns when they stop the action.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: When a man commits fornication, faith departs from him and there is something like a canvas roof over his head; and when he quits that action, faith returns to him.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا نَافِعٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ الْهَادِ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا زَنَى الرَّجُلُ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ الإِيمَانُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ كَالظُّلَّةِ فَإِذَا انْقَطَعَ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ الإِيمَانُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the effects of fornication on faith. According to the Prophet (ﷺ), when a person commits fornication, their faith departs from them and there is something like a canvas roof over their head. This means that they are no longer able to feel or experience the presence of God in their life. However, if they quit this action then faith will return to them and they will be able to feel God's presence again. This hadith serves as an important reminder that our actions have consequences and can affect our relationship with God. It also encourages us to stay away from any kind of immoral behavior so we can maintain our connection with Him at all times.
