Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لِأُمَّتِي عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا مَا لَمْ تُكَلِّمْ بِهِ أَوْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ.

Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, Hisham narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Zurarah ibn Awfa, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said: "Indeed, Allah has pardoned my Ummah for what their souls whisper to them, so long as they do not speak of it or act upon it."
