living islam _ Islamic tradition

'Ubāda ibn aS-Sāmit reported: While we were in the company of Allah's messenger (Salla-LLahu 'aleihi wa sallam) he said:
"Swear allegiance to me that you will not associate anything with Allah, that you will not steal, take any life which is forbidden by Allah to take but with (legal) right; and whoever among you fulfils it, his reward is with Allah; and he who commits such a thing and is punished for it, that will be an atonement for it. And if anyone commits anything and Allah conceals (his faults), his matter rests with Allah. He may forgive if He likes, and He may punish him if He likes." (See also Quran, Su 25-68/70)
Muslim reports it in the book of Hudūd, M3-4235.
