Hadith 53
۞
Hadith.5019 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
A man came to Isa (as) (Jesus), the son of Mariyum (as) (Mary), and said:
"O' Spirit of Allah (swt), I have committed adultery, so purify me."
Isa (as) ordered a public announcement to be made: "Let no one remain behind; everyone must come out for the purification of this man."
When the people had gathered and the man stood in the pit, the man called out, "Let no one execute the punishment upon me except one who has no prescribed punishment from Allah (swt) upon him."
Upon hearing this, all the people dispersed, leaving only Prophet Yahya (as) and Prophet Isa (as).
Yahya (as) approached the man and said: "O' sinner, advise me."
The man replied: "Do not leave your soul alone with its desires, lest it destroys you."
Yahya (as) said: "Give me more advice."
The man said: "Do not shame a sinner for his sin."
Yahya (as) asked: "Give me more advice."
The man said: "Do not become angry."
Yahya (as) responded, "That is enough for me."
