[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that Allah told about His servant who committed a sin. The servant said, "O Lord, forgive my sin." So Allah said that His servant committed a sin again. The servant realized that he has a Lord who forgives sins and takes to account for sins three times. The servant then said, "Do whatever you want, for I have been forgiven."  

أحمد:١٠٣٧٩حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَحْكِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي فَقَالَ ﷻ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُبِالذَّنْبِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ

ذِكْرُ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَى التَّائِبِ الْمُعَاوِدِ لِذَنْبِهِ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ، كُلَّمَا تَابَ وَعَادَ يَغْفِرُ

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, regarding what he narrates from his Lord, the Exalted and Mighty, who said: "My servant has committed a sin and he said, 'O Lord, I have sinned.' So Allah said, 'My servant has committed a sin.' Then he knew that Allah forgives sins and takes account of sins. Then he returned and sinned again, and said, 'O Lord, I have sinned.' So Allah said, 'My servant has committed a sin.' And he knew that his Lord forgives sins and takes account of sins. He can do whatever he wishes, for I have indeed forgiven him."  

ابن حبّان:٦٢٥أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيمَا يَحْكِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ فقَالَ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذُّنُوبِ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَذْنَبَ فقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ فقَالَ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ رَبَّهُ يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذَّنْبِ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ»
