قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللهَ، فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللهُ} [آل عمران: 135]
Asma' bint al-Hakam said: I heard Ali say: I was a man; when I heard a tradition from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Allah benefited me with it as much as He willed. But when some one of his companions narrated a tradition to me I adjured him. When he took an oath, I testified him. AbuBakr narrated to me a tradition, and AbuBakr narrated truthfully. He said: I heard the apostle of Allah ﷺ saying: When a servant (of Allah) commits a sin, and he performs ablution well, and then stands and prays two rak'ahs, and asks pardon of Allah, Allah pardons him. He then recited this verse: "And those who, when they commit indecency or wrong their souls, remember Allah" (Al-Qur'an 3:135). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1521)
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ يَقُولُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَجُلًا إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ مِنْهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي فَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي صَدَّقْتُهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَتَطَهَّرُ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَّا غَفَرَ لَهُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ} [آل عمران 135] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
