Expiation of the Sin on the Day of Judgement

Expiation of the Sin on the Day of Judgement

A woman presented herself before the Holy Prophet (S) and said, “O, Messenger of Allah, I called my maid adulteress.”

The Prophet (S) said,

“Have you ever seen her committing adultery?”

“No,” she replied.

The Holy Prophet (S) told her,

“Know that ! On the day of Qiyāma, some of your good deeds will be transferred to this maid and it would be the expiation.

 This woman returned and handed a whip to her maid and said, “lash me” but the maid refused, so she freed her. Again, she returned to the Prophet (S) and related the incident. The Holy Prophet (S) remarked,

“May be this action of yours will act as the expiation of your utterance and you may not suffer it’s consequences in the hereafter.”
