Jami at-Tirmidhi 3114 (Book 47, Hadith 166) #28763
Seeking Atonement Through Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who committed an unlawful act and asked the Prophet ﷺ for atonement. In response, Allah revealed a verse from the Quran which was applicable to all of the Prophet's Ummah.

Narrated Ibn Mas'ud: that a man unlawfully kissed a woman. So he came to the Prophet to ask him about its atonement. So (the following) Ayah was revealed: And perform the Salat, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night (11:114). The man said: "Is this for me O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "For you and for whoever does that among my Ummah".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَصَابَ مِنَ امْرَأَةٍ قُبْلَةَ حَرَامٍ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ كَفَّارَتِهَا فَنَزَلَتْ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ‏)‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَلِيَ هَذِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَكَ وَلِمَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
