Takhrij Hadith 501: "A young man came to…"
Abu Umamah reported:
“
A young man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, give me permission to commit adultery”. The people turned toward him and rebuked him, saying: 'Stop! Stop!” But the Prophet ﷺ said: “Bring him closer”. So the young man came near and sat down. The Prophet ﷺ asked: “Would you like it for your mother?” He replied: “No, by Allah! May Allah make me your ransom”.The Prophet ﷺ said: “Neither do people like it for their mothers”. He then asked: “Would you like it for your daughter?” The young man replied: “No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah! May Allah make me your ransom”.The Prophet ﷺ said: “Neither do people like it for their daughters”. He continued: “Would you like it for your sister?” The young man answered: “No, by Allah! May Allah make me your ransom”. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Neither do people like it for their sisters”. He then asked: “Would you like it for your paternal aunt?” The young man replied: “No, by Allah! May Allah make me your ransom”. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Neither do people like it for their paternal aunts”. He asked: “Would you like it for your maternal aunt?” The young man replied: “No, by Allah! May Allah make me your ransom”.The Prophet ﷺ said: “Neither do people like it for their maternal aunts”. Then the Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on him and said: “O Allah, forgive his sin, purify his heart, and guard his chastity”. After that, the young man never again paid any attention to such desires.”
