Sahih al-Bukhari 6823 (Book 86, Hadith 51) #6564
Forgiveness Through Prayer

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet to punish him for a sin he had committed, but the Prophet instead forgave him after he prayed with them.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: While I was with the Prophet a man came and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me''. The Prophet did not ask him what he had done. Then the time for the prayer became due and the man offered prayer along with the Prophet , and when the Prophet had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws". The Prophet said, "Haven't you prayed with us?' He said, "Yes". The Prophet said, "Allah has forgiven your sin". or said, ".your legally punishable sin".
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْكِلاَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ‏.‏ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْهُ‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ الصَّلاَةَ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا، فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ حَدَّكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Ask for forgiveness from Allah through prayer
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how prayer can lead to forgiveness of sins. The man in this story committed a punishable sin and asked the Prophet to punish him according to Allah's laws. However, when the man prayed with the Prophet, his sin was forgiven without any punishment being inflicted on him. This teaches us that prayer is an important part of our faith and it can help us seek forgiveness from Allah for our sins. It also shows us that we should not be afraid or ashamed to ask for forgiveness if we have done something wrong; rather, we should turn towards Allah in prayer and ask Him for His mercy and grace.
