‘So whoever fulfils among you, his reward is with Allah, and whoever does anything of that and is punished for it, then it is expiation (kaffara) for him. And whoever does anything of that and Allah conceals him upon it, if He wills He will forgive him and if He wills, He will punish him.'”

Al-Bukhari narrated from ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit (ra) who said, “We were with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in an assembly and he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘Give me the bay’ah on condition that you do not associate anything with Allah, you do not steal and do not commit zina’, and he read all of this ayah (the ayah on the bay’ah of women). ‘So whoever fulfils among you, his reward is with Allah, and whoever does anything of that and is punished for it, then it is expiation (kaffara) for him. And whoever does anything of that and Allah conceals him upon it, if He wills He will forgive him and if He wills, He will punish him.'”
