[Machine] "He used to ride behind Ali, and when he placed his foot in the stirrup, he said: 'In the name of Allah.' And when he mounted the beast, he said: 'All praise is due to Allah,' three times, and 'Allah is the Greatest,' three times. Then he said: 'Glory be to the One who has subjected this to us, and we could not have subdued it ourselves.' [Surah Az-Zukhruf, 43:13] Then he said: 'There is no deity except You; Exalted are You. Indeed, I have been wronging myself, so forgive me my sins. Indeed, no one forgives sins except You.' Then he turned to one side and laughed, so I asked him: 'O Amir al-Mu'minin, what makes you laugh?' He said: 'I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did the same as I did. So I asked him the same as you asked me, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, Allah is pleased with His servant when he says: There is no deity except You; Indeed, I have been wronging myself, so forgive me my sins. Indeed, no one forgives sins except You.' My servant has known that he has a Lord who forgives and punishes."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ رِدْفًا لِعَلِيٍّ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ الدَّابَّةِ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ثَلَاثًا وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثَلَاثًا {سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ} [الزخرف 13] الْآيَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي قَدْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ثُمَّ مَالَ إِلَى أَحَدِ شِقَّيْهِ فَضَحِكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَصَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَعْجَبُ إِلَى الْعَبْدِ إِذَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِنِّي قَدْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ قَالَ عَبْدِي عَرَفَ أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ وَيُعَاقِبُ
