‘Alqamah reported: Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked about a man who has illicit intercourse with a woman and then marries her. Abdullah recited the verse, “Those who do evil deeds and thereafter repent and have faith, your Lord after that is forgiving and merciful.” (7:153) Abdullah recited the verse ten times, but he did not command them or prohibit them from doing so.

عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنه أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ الرَّجُلَ يَزْنِي بِالْمَرْأَةِ ثُمَّ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهَا وَآمَنُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ فَتَلَاهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْهُمْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ عَنْهَا
