Abd ibn Humayd narrated to me, Abu al-Walid narrated to me, Hammam narrated to us, Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah narrated to us, he said: There was in Medina a storyteller called Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Amrah. He said: I heard him say: I heard Abu Hurayrah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Indeed, a servant committed a sin." — with the meaning of the hadith of Hammad ibn Salamah. And he mentioned three times: "committed a sin." And in the third: "I have forgiven My servant, so let him do whatever he wishes."
