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:٦٢٥ – أَخْبَرَنَا 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»

O Allah, forgive me my sins, and Allah (the Exalted and Glorious) said: My servant commited a sin and then he came to realise that he has a Lord Who forgives the sins and takes to account (the sinner) for the sin. He then again committed a sin and said: My Lord, forgive me my sin, and Allah, the Exalted and High, said: My servant committed a sin and then came to realise that he has a Lord Who would forgive his sin or would take (him) to account for the sin. He again committed a sin and said: My Lord, forgive me for my sin, and Allah (the Exalted and High) said: My servant sas committed a sin and then came to realise that he has a Lord Who forgives the sins or takes (him) to account for sin. O servant, do what you like. I have granted you forgiveness. 'Abd al-A'la said: I do not know whether he said thrice or four times to do" what you desire".  

مسلم:٢٧٥٨a – حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَحْكِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ قَالَ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدٌ ذَنْبًا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذَّنْبِ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَذْنَبَ فَقَالَ أَىْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَبْدِي أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذَّنْبِ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَذْنَبَ فَقَالَ أَىْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذَّنْبِ وَاعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى لاَ أَدْرِي أَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ  

ahmad:10379 – Bahz > Ḥammād > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū ʿAmrah > Abū Hurayrah

[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."

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
