[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will pledge allegiance to you on the condition that you forgive me for my past sins." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Islam erases what came before it, and Hijrah (migration) erases what came before it." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, I have never seen anyone more modest than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I could not even look at him directly, nor could I approach him with whatever I desired, until Allah took him (in death) with that modesty from him."  

أحمد:١٧٨١٣حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ شُفَيٍّ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَإِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ تَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهَا قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَوَاللهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَشَدَّ النَّاسِ حَيَاءً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا مَلَأْتُ عَيْنِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا رَاجَعْتُهُ بِمَا أُرِيدُ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللهِ ﷻ حَيَاءً مِنْهُ
