From Ibn Kathir's tafsir on S 3:39
And Ibn Abi Hatim said: My father told us, Isa ibn Hammad Zaghbah and Muhammad ibn Salamah al-Muradi told us, they said, Hajjaj told us, from Salman ibn al-Qamari, from Al-Layth ibn Saad, from Muhammad ibn Ajlan from Al-Qa'qa', from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, that the prophet [SAW] said: "Every son of Adam meets Allah with a sin that he has committed, for which he tortures him, if he wills, or has mercy on him, except Yahya ibn Zakariyya, for he was a chief and a continent man and a prophet among the righteous." Then the prophet [SAW] bent down towards a speck on the ground and picked it up and said: "His penis was like this speck."
From Al-Qurtubi's:
And Abu Salih narrated from Abu Hurayrah. He said: I heard Allah's messenger [SAW] say: Every son of Adam meets Allah with a sin that he has committed, for which he tortures him, if he wills, or has mercy on him, except Yahya ibn Zakariyya, for he was a chief and a continent man and a prophet among the righteous. Then the prophet {SAW} reached out with his hand towards a speck on the ground and picked it up and said: (His penis was thus like this speck).
