Abu Al-Hasan Al-Taymi, may Allah have mercy on him, reports from a man: I was traveling with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on a dark night when someone was heard reciting Surah «قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ» , so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: This person has been absolved of shirk. Then we moved on and heard someone else reciting Surah «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ» , so he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: This person has been forgiven. I wanted to stop my mount to see to whom I could give this glad tidings, but when I looked to the right and left, I saw no one.
