English narration
Narrated by المنذر بن مالك العوفي
Abu Nadrah said: A man came to Prophet ﷺ. He then mentioned a similar tradition but not completely. This version has: People began to speak ill of him but he (the Prophet) forbade them. Then they began to ask forgiveness from him, but he forbade them by saying. He is a man who had committed a sin. Allah will call him to account himself.

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ، عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ ، وَلَيْسَ بِتَمَامِهِ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبُوا يَسُبُّونَهُ فَنَهَاهُمْ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبُوا يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ فَنَهَاهُمْ ، قَالَ : هُوَ رَجُلٌ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا حَسِيبُهُ اللَّهُ .
