Shaykh Salih also asks, saying: Did the hadithSahih al-Bukhari 6069 come down, and what is its meaning?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic and has come down. The mujahidin (those who commit sins openly) means those who do not cover up their sins, who speak about what they have done, and who do not regret their actions. Such a person is not forgiven from punishment because he has become one who commits sins openly. As for the one who covered up his sin, repented, and sought forgiveness, he is the one for whom forgiveness is hoped for, and this is the Shari'ah etiquette. Yes.
