Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا زُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لأُمَّتِي عَمَّا وَسْوَسَتْ أَوْ حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا، مَا لَمْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ أَوْ تَكَلَّمْ ".
Translation
Khallad ibn Yahya narrated to us; Mis'ar narrated to us; Qatadah narrated to us; Zurarah ibn Awfa narrated to us, from Abu Hurayrah, who attributed it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: ‘Allah has pardoned my community for what their souls whisper or speak to themselves, so long as they do not act upon it or speak it aloud.’
