[Machine] Abdullah replied, "Indeed, in the Qur'an there are two verses that if a servant commits a sin and then recites them and seeks forgiveness from Allah, he will be forgiven." They asked him about these verses, but he did not inform them. Alqamah and Al-Aswad said to each other, "Let us go with him." So they went to the house, took the Mushaf (book), and started reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. They said, "We did not see them." Then they continued reciting until they reached the verse, "And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness from Allah, he will find Allah forgiving and merciful." They said, "This is one." Then they continued reciting Surah Al-Imran until they reached the verse, "And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah? And [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know." They said, "This is the other." Then they closed the book and went to Abdullah and asked, "Are these the two verses?" He replied, "Yes."
عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ لَآيَتَيْنِ مَا أَذْنَبَ عَبْدٌ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ تَلَاهُمَا وَاسْتَغْفَرَ اللهَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ» فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُمَا فَلَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمْ فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ قُمْ بِنَا فَقَامَا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَأَخَذَا الْمُصْحَفَ فَتَصَفَّحَا الْبَقَرَةَ فَقَالَا مَا رَأَيْنَاهُمَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَا فِي النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى انْتَهَيَا إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ يَجِدِ اللهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا} فَقَالَ هَذِهِ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ تَصَفَّحَا آلَ عِمْرَانَ حَتَّى انْتَهَيَا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا} قَالَا هَذِهِ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ طَبَّقَا الْمُصْحَفَ ثُمَّ أَتَيَا عَبْدَ اللهِ فَقَالَا هُمَا هَاتَانِ الْآيَتَانِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
