The reciter: Abd al-Qadus ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Amr ibn Asim al-Kilabi narrated to me, Hammam ibn Yahya narrated to us, Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah narrated from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6823.
The Shaykh : Because this was not specified. As for the hadith of Ma'iz, it was specified; he said that he committed unlawful sexual intercourse. This man committed a crime for which a fixed punishment is due, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not ask him for details whether it was unlawful sexual intercourse, theft, or something else. The man did not specify. So if a man comes to us repenting and says: "I have committed a crime for which a fixed punishment is due," then we do not ask for details, we do not say: "What is it?" Rather, we cover it up for him. And if he does good, we say:[Hud 11:114].
While I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) a man came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me'.' The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) , and when the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Haven't you prayed with us?' He said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forgiven your sin." or said, "....your legally punishable sin."
