حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا ه
ُوَ مَا فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ فَعَلَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى غَفَرَ لَهُ بِقَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَهُمَا رَجُلٌ يَعْنِي ثَابِتًا

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Affan, from Hammad ibn Salama, from Thabit — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man: 'You did such-and-such.' The man said: 'No, by Allah besides Whom there is no god — I did not do it.' He said: 'Jibril (عليه السلام) told him: He did do it, but Allah (تعالى) has forgiven him because of his saying "La ilaha illa Allah."' — Hammad said: 'Thabit did not hear this from Ibn 'Umar directly — there is a man between them.'
