أَخْبَرَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى تَجَاوَزَ لأُمَّتِي عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا مَا لَمْ تَكَلَّمْ أَوْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ " .
Translation
Musa bin Abd al-Rahman informed me; Husayn al-Ju'fi narrated to us, from Za'idah, from Shayban, from Qatadah, from Zurarah bin Awfa, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, who said: ‘Allah, Exalted is He, has pardoned my community for what their selves speak to them, so long as they do not speak of it or act upon it.’
