There is (at times) some sort of shade upon my heart, and I seek forgiveness from Allah a hundred times a day. (Using translation from Muslim 2702a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ»  

the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: 'I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him one hundred times each day.' (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3815)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying: "Indeed, there are times when my heart becomes occupied until I seek forgiveness from Allah a hundred times every day."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي حَتَّى أَسْتَغْفِرَ اللهَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ»

" قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ذَرَبَ لِسَانِى، قَالَ: أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الاسْتِغْفَارِ؟ إِنِّى لأَسْتَغْفِرُ الله فِى كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ".  

"إِنَّهُ ليُغانُ على قلبى، وإِنى لأَستغفرُ اللَّه في اليومِ مائة مرَّة ".  

"إنِّى لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّه وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ في الْيَوْمَ مِائَةَ مَرَةٍ".  

I sought permission to beg forgiveness for my mother, but He did not grant it to me. I sought permission from Him to visit her grave, and He granted it (permission) to me.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لأُمِّي فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي

زَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأُذِنَ لِي فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُ الْمَوْتَ  

"The Messenger of Allah visited the grave of his mother and wept, and caused those around him to weep.

I have committed immorality (adultery), so inflict punishment upon me. Allah's Apostle ﷺ turned him away again and again. He then asked his people (about the state of his mind). They said: We do not know of any ailment of his except that he has committed something about which he thinks that he would not be able to relieve himself of its burden but with the Hadd being imposed upon him. He (Ma'iz) came back to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and he commanded us to stone him. We took him to the Baqi' al-Gharqad (the graveyard of Medina). We neither tied him nor dug any ditch for him. We attacked him with bones, with clods and pebbles. He ran away and we ran after him until he came upon the ston ground (al-Harra) and stopped there and we stoned him with heavy stones of the Harra until he became motionless (lie died). He (the Holy Prophet) then addressed (us) in the evening saying Whenever we set forth on an expedition in the cause of Allah, some one of those connected with us shrieked (under the pressure of sexual lust) as the bleating of a male goat. It is essential that if a person having committed such a deed is brought to me, I should punish him. He neither begged forgiveness for him nor cursed him.  

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ فَاحِشَةً فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ فَرَدَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِرَارًا قَالَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ قَوْمَهُ فَقَالُوا مَا نَعْلَمُ بِهِ بَأْسًا إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا يَرَى أَنَّهُ لاَ يُخْرِجُهُ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقَامَ فِيهِ الْحَدُّ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَرْجُمَهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ قَالَ فَمَا أَوْثَقْنَاهُ وَلاَ حَفَرْنَا لَهُ قَالَ فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِالْعَظْمِ وَالْمَدَرِ وَالْخَزَفِ قَالَ فَاشْتَدَّ فَاشْتَدَدْنَا خَلْفَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى عُرْضَ الْحَرَّةِ فَانْتَصَبَ لَنَا فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِجَلاَمِيدِ الْحَرَّةِ يَعْنِي الْحِجَارَةَ حَتَّى سَكَتَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطِيبًا مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ فَقَالَ أَوَكُلَّمَا انْطَلَقْنَا غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ فِي عِيَالِنَا لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ عَلَىَّ أَنْ لاَ أُوتَى بِرَجُلٍ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ نَكَّلْتُ بِهِ قَالَ فَمَا اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ وَلاَ سَبَّهُ  

[Machine] "A man named Ma'iz ibn Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and confessed that he had committed a grave sin. The Prophet ﷺ turned him away repeatedly, but Ma'iz kept asking the people if there was any punishment for him. They replied that there was no punishment for him except that he had involved himself in something that he should not have and the punishment for this was to be executed. The Prophet ﷺ then ordered them to take him to the outskirts of the city and they did not dig a pit for him or tie him up, but rather they threw him with stones, bones and clods of earth until he died. After that, the Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon and praised and thanked Allah. He then said, 'Why is it that when we launch an attack and someone among us remains behind with our families, he is not like a wet nurse who takes care of the young ones of a goat?' He further added, 'Indeed, I am not to have sexual relations with any of them. However, I apply it (the prescribed punishment) to them.' He did not curse him or ask forgiveness for him."  

أَنَّ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ فَاحِشَةً فَرَدَّهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِرَارًا فَسَأَلَ قَوْمَهُ «أَبِهِ بَأْسٌ؟» فَقَالُوا مَا بِهِ بَأْسٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ أَتَى أَمْرًا لَا يَرَى أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقَامَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ قَالَ فَأَمَرَنَا فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ قَالَ فَلَمْ نَحْفِرْ لَهُ وَلَمْ نُوَثِّقْهُ فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِخَزَفٍ وَعِظَامٍ وَجَنْدَلٍ فَاسْتَكَنَّ فَسَعَى فَاشْتَدَدْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَأَتَى الْحَرَّةَ فَانْتَصَبَ لَنَا فَرَمَيْنَاهُ بِحَلَامِيذِهَا حَتَّى سَكَنَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَمَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ إِذَا غَزَوْنَا فَتَخَلَّفَ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي عِيَالِنَا لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ أَمَا إِنِّي عَلَيَّ لَا أُوتَى بِأَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا نَكَّلْتُ بِهِ» قَالَ فَلَمْ يَسُبَّهُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ  

[Machine] Maa'iz ibn Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have committed a grave sin." The Prophet ﷺ turned away from him multiple times. Maa'iz then asked the people, "Is there a punishment for me?" They replied, "There is nothing wrong with you except that you have come seeking a punishment that can only be lifted from you by establishing the prescribed punishment." Maa'iz then asked them to take him to the area of Gharkad, where they did not dig a hole or tie him up. Instead, they stoned him with pottery, bones, and clumps of earth. Maa'iz complained and struggled, but they persisted until he calmed down. Later, the Prophet ﷺ ascended the pulpit in the evening and praised Allah and spoke highly of Him. He then said, "What is wrong with people that when we engage in battle, one of them leaves their family behind, and they would have someone guardian-like as the nanny goat? By Allah, if I was to give preference to anyone in this matter, I would have preferred to take action against him." The Prophet ﷺ did not curse him nor ask for forgiveness for him.

Messenger of Allah, purify me, whereupon he said: Woe be upon you, go back, ask forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He (the narrator) said that he went back not far, then came and said: Messenger of Allah, purify me. whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Woe be upon you, go back and ask forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He (the narrator) said that he went back not far, when he came and said: Messenger of Allah, purify me. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said as he had said before. When it was the fourth time, Messenger of Allah (may, peace be upon him) said: From what am I to purify you? He said: From adultery, Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked if he had been mad. He was informed that he was not mad. He said: Has he drunk wine? A person stood up and smelt his breath but noticed no smell of wine. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Have you committed adultery? He said: Yes. He made pronouncement about him and he was stoned to death. The people had been (divided) into two groups about him (Ma'iz). One of them said: He has been undone for his sins had encompassed him, whereas another said: There is no repentance more excellent than the repentance of Ma'iz, for he came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and placing his hand in his (in the Holy Prophet's) hand said: Kill me with stones. (This controversy about Ma'iz) remained for two or three days. Then came Messenger of Allah ﷺ to them (his Companions) as they were sitting. He greeted them with salutation and then sat down and said: Ask forgiveness for Ma'iz b. Malik. They said: May Allah forgive Ma'iz b. Malik. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He (Ma'iz) has made such a repentance that if that were to be divided among a people, it would have been enough for all of them. He (the narrator) said: Then a woman of Ghamid, a branch of Azd, came to him and said: Messenger of of Allah, purify me, whereupon he said: Woe be upon you; go back and beg forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance. She said: I find that you intend to send me back as you sent back Ma'iz. b. Malik. He (the Holy, Prophet) said: What has happened to you? She said that she had become pregnant as a result of fornication. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is it you (who has done that)? She said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said to her: (You will not be punished) until you deliver what is there in your womb. One of the Ansar became responsible for her until she was delivered (of the child). He (that Ansari) came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and said the woman of Ghamid has given birth to a child. He (the Holy Prophet) said: In that case we shall not stone her and so leave her infant with none to suckle him. One of the Ansar got up and said: Allah's Apostle, let the responsibility of his suckling be upon me. She was then stoned to death.

[Machine] Ma'iz ibn Malik came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me." The Prophet ﷺ exclaimed, "Woe to you, go back and seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him." Ma'iz returned after a short while and said, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me." The Prophet ﷺ responded once again, "Woe to you, go back and seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him." Ma'iz returned again shortly and repeated his request, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me." The Prophet ﷺ finally replied, "Likewise, I have given you the same answer until now. But what is it that you want to be purified from?" Ma'iz answered, "From committing adultery." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Are you insane?" Ma'iz's sanity was confirmed, and the Prophet ﷺ inquired if he had consumed any alcohol. A man stood up to condemn him, but could not smell alcohol on him. The Prophet ﷺ asked Ma'iz, "Are you sure you are telling the truth?" Ma'iz affirmed, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered that he be stoned to death. The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned the incident in the context of repentance, as he had done before. Afterwards, a woman from the tribe of Ghamid, from the Azd clan, came to him and requested, "O Messenger of Allah, purify me." He once again expressed, "Woe to you, go back and seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him." She responded, saying, "Perhaps you want to turn me away just as you turned away Ma'iz ibn Malik?" The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What are you talking about?" She explained, "I am pregnant from committing adultery." The Prophet ﷺ inquired, "Are you sure you are telling the truth?" She confirmed. He then said, "In that case, we will not stone you until you give birth." The Prophet ﷺ also mentioned this incident.

جَاءَ مَاعِزُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! طَهِّرْنِى، قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، ارْجِعْ واسْتَغْفرِ الله وَتُبْ إلَيْهِ، فَرَجَعَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! طَهِّرِنِى، فَقَالَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ. حَتَّى إذَا كَانَتِ الرَّابِعَةُ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : فَفِيمَ أُطَهِّرُكَ؟ قَالَ: مِنَ الزِّنَا. فَسَأَلَهُ ﷺ أَبِهِ جُنُونٌ؟ فَأُخْبِرَ: أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِمَجْنُونٍ، فَقَالَ: أَيَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا؟ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَنكهَهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مِنْهُ رِيحَ خَمْرٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : أَثَيِّبٌ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ؛ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ، فَكَانَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ فِرْقَتَيْنِ تَقُولُ فِرْقَةٌ: لَقَدْ هَلَكَ مَاعِزٌ عَلَى سُوءِ عَمَلِه، لَقَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيئَتُهُ، وَقَائِلٌ يَقُولُ: أَتَوْبَةٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ توبَةِ مَاعِزٍ! إِذْ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِى يَدِهِ، فَقَالَ: اقْتُلْنِى بالْحِجَارَة، فَلَبِثُوا بِذَلِكَ يَوْميْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةً، ثُمَّ جَاءَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ فَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، فَقَالُوا: يَغْفِرُ الله لِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : لَقَدْ تَابَ تَوْبَةً لَوْ قُسِمَتْ بَيْنَ أُمَّةٍ لَوَسِعَتْهَا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ غَامِدٍ مِنَ الأَزْدِ فَقَالَتْ: يَارَسُولَ الله! طَهِّرنِى، قَالَ: وَيْحَكِ (*) ارْجِعِى فَاسْتَغْفِرِى الله وَتُوبِى إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَعَلَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرُدَّنِى كَمَا رَدَدْتَ مَاعِزَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّهَا حُبْلَى مِنَ الزِّنَا، فَقَالَ: أَثَيِّب أَنْتِ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: إِذَنْ لاَ نَرْجُمَنَّكِ حَتَّى تَضَعِى مَا فِى بَطْنِكِ، فَكَفَلَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ حَتَّى وَضَعَتْ، فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: قَدْ وَضَعَتِ الْغَاَمِدِيَّةُ، قَالَ: إِذَنْ لاَ نَرْجُمهَا، ونَدَع وَلَدَهَا صَغِيرًا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَنْ يُرْضِعُهُ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ: إِلَىَّ رَضَاعُهُ يَانَبِىَّ اللهِ! فَرَجَمَهَا  

He who climbed this hill, the hill of Murar, his sins would be obliterated as were obliterated the sins of Bani Isra'il. So the first to take their horses were the people of Banu Khazraj. Then there was a ceaseless flow of persons and Messenger of Allah ( ﷺ) said to them: All of you are those who have been pardoned except the owner of a red camel. We came to him and said to him: You also come on, so that Messenger of Allah ( ﷺ) may seek forgiveness for you. But he said: By Allah, so far as I am concerned, the finding of something lost is dearer to me than seeking of forgiveness for me by your companion (the Holy Prophet), and he remained busy in finding out his lost thing.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَصْعَدُ الثَّنِيَّةَ ثَنِيَّةَ الْمُرَارِ فَإِنَّهُ يُحَطُّ عَنْهُ مَا حُطَّ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ صَعِدَهَا خَيْلُنَا خَيْلُ بَنِي الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ تَتَامَّ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُ إِلاَّ صَاحِبَ الْجَمَلِ الأَحْمَرِ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ تَعَالَ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأَنْ أَجِدَ ضَالَّتِي أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي صَاحِبُكُمْ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ يَنْشُدُ ضَالَّةً لَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever ascends the mountain of Marar, he will be shielded from what was shielded from the Children of Israel." The first to ascend it was the horses of Banu Khazraj, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "All of you are forgiven, except for the owner of the red camel." So, a Bedouin who had lost his camel came to him, and we told him to go and ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to seek forgiveness for him. He said, "I would rather find my lost camel than have the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seek forgiveness for me."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يصْعَدُ ثَنِيَّةَ الْمِرَارِ فَإِنَّهُ يُحَطُّ عَنْهُ مَا حُطَّ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ» فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ صَعِدَهَا خَيْلُ بَنِي الْخَزْرَجِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُّكُمْ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُ إِلَّا صَاحِبَ الْجَمَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ» قَالَ وَإِذَا هُوَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَنْشُدُ ضَالَّةً لَهُ قُلْنَا لَهُ تَعَالَ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَأَنْ أَجِدَ ضَالَّتِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي صَاحِبُكُمْ  

I have left behind in the mosque a man who explains the Qur'an according to his personal discretion and he explained this verse:" So wait for the day when the Heaven brings a clear smoke." He says that a smoke would come to the people on the Day of Resurrection anl it will withhold breath and they would be inflicted with cold. 'Abdullah said: He who has knowledge should say something and he who has no knowledge should simply say: Allah is best aware. This reflects the understanding of a person that he should say about that which he does not know that it is Allah who knows best. The fact is that when the Quraish disobeyed Allah's Apostle ﷺ he supplicated Allah that they should be afflicted with famine and starvation as was done in case of Yusuf. And they were so much hard pressed that a person would ace the sky and he would see between him and the sky something like smoke and they were so much hard pressed that they began to cat the bones, and a person came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah. seek forgiveness for the tribe of Mudar for (its people) have been undone. The Messenger ﷺ said: For Mudar? You are overbold, but he supplicated Allah for them. It was upon this that this verse was revealed:" We shall remove the chastisement a little, but they will surely return to evil" (xliv. 15). lie (the narrator) said: There was a downpoor of rain upon them. When there was some relief for them they returned to the same position as they had been before, and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse:" So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear smoke enveloping people. This is a grievous torment on the day when We seize them with the most violent seizing; surely, We shall exact retribution." And this (seizing) implied (Battle) of Badr.  

قَالَ جَاءَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ تَرَكْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلاً يُفَسِّرُ الْقُرْآنَ بِرَأْيِهِ يُفَسِّرُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ { يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ} قَالَ يَأْتِي النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ دُخَانٌ فَيَأْخُذُ بِأَنْفَاسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَهُمْ مِنْهُ كَهَيْئَةِ الزُّكَامِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَنْ عَلِمَ عِلْمًا فَلْيَقُلْ بِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّ مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِمَا لاَ عِلْمَ لَهُ بِهِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا لَمَّا اسْتَعْصَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِسِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ فَأَصَابَهُمْ قَحْطٌ وَجَهْدٌ حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَرَى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا كَهَيْئَةِ الدُّخَانِ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ وَحَتَّى أَكَلُوا الْعِظَامَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ لِمُضَرَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ هَلَكُوا فَقَالَ لِمُضَرَ إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ قَالَ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ لَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ { إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلاً إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ} قَالَ فَمُطِرُوا فَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْهُمُ الرَّفَاهِيَةُ قَالَ عَادُوا إِلَى مَا كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ { فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ * يَغْشَى النَّاسَ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ} { يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَى إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ} قَالَ يَعْنِي يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ  

I think (he also sought forgiveness) for the children of the Ansar and the slaves and the freed men of the Ansar. I have no doubt about it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِلأَنْصَارِ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَلِذَرَارِيِّ الأَنْصَارِ وَلِمَوَالِي الأَنْصَارِ لاَ أَشُكُّ فِيهِ  

Is there amongst us one from Qaran? That person came and Umar said: Verily Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: There would come to you a person from Yemen who would be called Uwais and he would leave none in Yemen (behind him) except his mother, and he would have the whiteness (due to leprosy) and he supplicated Allah and it was cured except for the size of a dinar or dirham. He who amongst you meets him should ask him to supplicate for forgiveness (from Allah) for you.  

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَسْخَرُ بِأُوَيْسٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَلْ هَا هُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَرَنِيِّينَ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلاً يَأْتِيكُمْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ لاَ يَدَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ غَيْرَ أُمٍّ لَهُ قَدْ كَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ عَنْهُ إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ الدِّينَارِ أَوِ الدِّرْهَمِ فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ  

"إِنَّ رَجُلًا يأتيكم من الْيَمَن يقالُ له: أُوَيْسٌ، لا يَدع باليمنِ غيرَ أُمِّ لَهُ، قد كان به بياضٌ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ فَأذهَبَهُ عنه إِلا مثل مَوْضِع الدِّرهم، فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ منكم فَمُرُوه فليستغفرْ لَكُمَ".  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Worthy amongst the successors would be a person who would be called Uwais. He would have his mother (living with him) and he would have (a small) sign of leprosy. Ask him to beg pardon for you (from Allah).  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ التَّابِعِينَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ وَلَهُ وَالِدَةٌ وَكَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ فَمُرُوهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ  

"إِنَّ خَيْرَ التَّابِعينَ رَجُلٌ يقالُ له: أُوَيْسِ، وله وَالِدَةٌ هُوَ بِهَا بَرٌّ، لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ، وَكَانَ به بَيَاضٌ فَمُرُوهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ".  

Is there amongst you Uwais b. 'Amir? (He continued finding him out) until he met Uwais. He said: Are you Uwais b., Amir? He said: Yes. He said: Are you from the tribe of Qaran? He said: Yes. He (Hadrat) 'Umar (again) said: Did you suffer from leprosy and then you were cured from it but for the space of a dirham? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: Is your mother (living)? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There would come to you Uwais b. Amir with the reinforcement from the people of Yemen. (He would be) from Qaran, (the branch) of Murid. He had been suffering from leprosy from which he was cured but for a spot of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been excellent. If he were to take an oath in the name of Allah, He would honour that. And if it is possible for you, then do ask him to beg forgiveness for you (from your Lord). So he (Uwais) begged forgiveness for him. Umar said: Where do you intend to go? He said: To Kufa. He ('Umar) said: Let me write a letter for you to its governor, whereupon he (Uwais) said: I love to live amongst the poor people. When it was the next year, a person from among the elite (of Kufa) performed Hajj and he met Umar. He asked him about Uwais. He said: I left him in a state with meagre means of sustenance. (Thereupon) Umar said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There would come to you Uwais b. 'Amir, of Qaran, a branch (of the tribe) of Murid, along with the reinforcement of the people of Yemen. He had been suffering from leprosy which would have been cured but for the space of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been very kind. If he would take an oath in the name of Allah (for something) He would honour it. Ask him to beg forgiveness for you (from Allah) in case it is possible for you. So he came to Uwais and said.: Beg forgiveness (from Allah) for me. He (Uwais) said: You have just come from a sacred journey (Hajj) ; you, therefore, ask forgiveness for me. He (the person who had performed Hajj) said: Ask forgiveness for me (from Allah). He (Uwais again) said: You have just come from the sacred journey, so you ask forgiveness for me. (Uwais further) said: Did you meet Umar? He said: Yes. He (Uwais) then begged forgiveness for him (from Allah). So the people came to know about (the status of religious piety) of Uwais. He went away (from that place). Usair said: His clothing consisted of a mantle, and whosoever saw him said: From where did Uwais get this mantle?

So he (Uwais) begged forgiveness for him. Umar said: Where do you intend to go? He said: To Kufa. He ('Umar) said: Let me write a letter for you to its governor, whereupon he (Uwais) said: I love to live amongst the poor people. When it was the next year, a person from among the elite (of Kufa) performed Hajj and he met Umar. He asked him about Uwais. He said: I left him in a state with meagre means of sustenance. (Thereupon) Umar said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There would come to you Uwais b. 'Amir, of Qaran, a branch (of the tribe) of Murid, along with the reinforcement of the people of Yemen. He had been suffering from leprosy which would have been cured but for the space of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been very kind. If he would take an oath in the name of Allah (for something) He would honour it. Ask him to beg forgiveness for you (from Allah) in case it is possible for you. So he came to Uwais and said.: Beg forgiveness (from Allah) for me. He (Uwais) said: You have just come from a sacred journey (Hajj) ; you, therefore, ask forgiveness for me. He (the person who had performed Hajj) said: Ask forgiveness for me (from Allah). He (Uwais again) said: You have just come from the sacred journey, so you ask forgiveness for me. (Uwais further) said: Did you meet Umar? He said: Yes. He (Uwais) then begged forgiveness for him (from Allah). So the people came to know about (the status of religious piety) of Uwais. He went away (from that place). Usair said: His clothing consisted of a mantle, and whosoever saw him said: From where did Uwais get this mantle? (Using translation from Muslim 2542c)

Is there amongst you Uwais b. 'Amir? (He continued finding him out) until he met Uwais. He said: Are you Uwais b., Amir? He said: Yes. He said: Are you from the tribe of Qaran? He said: Yes. He (Hadrat) 'Umar (again) said: Did you suffer from leprosy and then you were cured from it but for the space of a dirham? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: Is your mother (living)? He said: Yes. He ('Umar) said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There would come to you Uwais b. Amir with the reinforcement from the people of Yemen. (He would be) from Qaran, (the branch) of Murid. He had been suffering from leprosy from which he was cured but for a spot of a dirham. His treatment with his mother would have been excellent. If he were to take an oath in the name of Allah, He would honour that. And if it is possible for you, then do ask him to beg forgiveness for you (from your Lord).

[Machine] He has a long life, Waelak, you would have perished if you went to him. So, convey my greetings to him and tell him to come to me. When he arrived in Kufa, he did not change his travel clothes until he went to him. He saw him in the mosque and did not come close to him, so he said to him, "Seek forgiveness for me, O my cousin." He replied, "May Allah forgive you, O my cousin." He said, "May Allah forgive you, O Uwais ibn Amir, the leader of the faithful, who conveys greetings to you." He said, "Who mentioned me to the leader of the faithful?" He replied, "He mentioned you and ordered me to convey to you, so come to him." He said, "In hearing and obedience to the leader of the faithful." He went to Umar and entered upon him. Umar said to him, "Are you Uwais ibn Amir al-Qarni?" He said, "Yes." Umar said, "You are the one who went with him and prayed to Allah to remove it from you, so He removed it. You said, 'O Allah, leave in my body what I remember Your blessings upon me.' So you left in your body what you remember Allah's blessings upon you?" He said, "And how do you know, O leader of the faithful? By Allah, no human has seen this." He said, "The Messenger of Allah has informed us that there will be in the generations a man named Uwais ibn Amir al-Qarni. He will go out with a wound and will pray to Allah to remove it, so He will remove it from him. He will say, 'O Allah, leave in my body what I remember Your blessings upon me.' So Allah will leave in his body what he remembers Allah's blessings upon him. Whoever among you meets him and is able to seek forgiveness for him, then let him seek forgiveness for him. So seek forgiveness for me, O Uwais ibn Amir." He said, "May Allah forgive you, O leader of the faithful." Umar said, "And may Allah forgive you, O Uwais ibn Amir." When they heard what Umar said about the Messenger of Allah, one man said, "Seek forgiveness for me." Another said, "Seek forgiveness for me, O Uwais." When they crowded upon him, he left and was not seen until the hour (end of the day).

كان عمر بن الخطابِ إذا أَتى عليه أمدَادُ أَهْلِ اليمنِ سألهم: أفِيكُم أُوَيْسُ بنُ عامرٍ؟ حتى أتَى عَلى أويس، فقال: أنت أويسُ بْنُ عامرٍ؟ قال: نعم، قال: مِنْ مراد، ثم من قَرَنٍ؟ قال: نعم، قال: فكانَ بك برصٌ فبرأتَ مِنْه إلا موضعَ دِرْهَمٍ؟ قال: نعم، قال: ألَك والدةٌ؟ قال: نعم، قال: سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول: يأتى عليكم أويسُ بنُ عامرٍ مع أَمْدادِ أَهْلِ اليمن من مُراد، ثم من قرَن، كان به برص؛ فبرأَ منه إلَّا موضعَ دِرهم، له والدةٌ هو بها بَرٌّ، لو أقسم على اللَّه لأبره، فَإِن اسْتَطَعْت أن يستغفرَ لَك فافْعَل، فاستغفرْ لى؛ فاستغفرَ له، فقال له: أينَ تُريدُ؟ قال: الكوفة قال: ألا أَكْتُبُ لك إلى عَامِلِها؟ قال: أكون في غُبَّرِ النَّاسِ أحبَّ إلىَّ، فلما كان من العام المقبلِ حجَّ رجل من أشْرَافِهم؛ فوافقَ عمرَ فسأله عن أويسٍ، قال: تركته رثَّ الهَيئة، قليلَ المتاع، قال: سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقولُ: يأتى عليكم أويسُ بْنُ عامرٍ مع أمدادِ أَهْلِ اليمن من مراد، ثم من قرَن، كان به برصٌ؛ فبرأ منه إلا موضعَ درهمٍ، له والدةٌ هو بها برٌّ، لو أقسمَ على اللَّه لأَبَرَّه فإن استطعت أن يستغفرَ لكَ فافعل، فأتى أويسًا فقال: استغفر لى، قال: أنت أحْدَثُ عهدًا بسفر صالحٍ فاستغفرْ لى، قال: استغفر لى، قال: لقيتَ عمر؟ قال: نعم، فاستغفرَ له؛ فَفَطن له الناس؛ فانطلقَ على وجهه  

Where have you come from? They say: We come from Thine servants upon the earth who had been glorifying Thee (reciting Subhan Allah), uttering Thine Greatness (saying Allah o-Akbar) and uttering Thine Oneness (La ilaha ill Allah) and praising Thee (uttering al-Hamdu Lillah) and begging of Thee. Be would say: What do they beg of Me? They would say: They beg of Thee the Paradise of Thine. He (God) would say: Have they seen My Paradise? They said: No, our Lord. He would say: (What it would be then) if they were to see Mine Paradise? They (the angels) said: They seek Thine protection. He (the Lord) would say: Against what do they seek protection of Mine? They (the angels) would say: Our Lord, from the Hell-Fire. He (the Lord) would say: Have they seen My Fire? They would say: No. He (the Lord) would say: What it would be if they were to see My Fire? They would say: They beg of Thee forgiveness. He would say: I grant pardon to them, and confer upon them what they ask for and grant them protection against which they seek protection. They (the angels) would again say: Our Lord, there is one amongst them such and such simple servant who happened to pass by (that assembly) and sat there along with them (who had been participating in that assembly). He (the Lord) would say: I also grant him pardon, for they are a people the seat-fellows of whom are in no way unfortunate.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَلاَئِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضْلاً يَتَبَّعُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا مَجْلِسًا فِيهِ ذِكْرٌ قَعَدُوا مَعَهُمْ وَحَفَّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ حَتَّى يَمْلَئُوا مَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا تَفَرَّقُوا عَرَجُوا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ قَالَ فَيَسْأَلُهُمُ اللَّهُ ﷻ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ جِئْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادٍ لَكَ فِي الأَرْضِ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيُهَلِّلُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ قَالَ وَمَاذَا يَسْأَلُونِي قَالُوا يَسْأَلُونَكَ جَنَّتَكَ قَالَ وَهَلْ رَأَوْا جَنَّتِي قَالُوا لاَ أَىْ رَبِّ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْا جَنَّتِي قَالُوا وَيَسْتَجِيرُونَكَ قَالَ وَمِمَّ يَسْتَجِيرُونَنِي قَالُوا مِنْ نَارِكَ يَا رَبِّ قَالَ وَهَلْ رَأَوْا نَارِي قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْا نَارِي قَالُوا وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَكَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ مَا سَأَلُوا وَأَجَرْتُهُمْ مِمَّا اسْتَجَارُوا قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبِّ فِيهِمْ فُلاَنٌ عَبْدٌ خَطَّاءٌ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ وَلَهُ غَفَرْتُ هُمُ الْقَوْمُ لاَ يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ  

Where have you come from? They say: We come from Thine servants upon the earth who had been glorifying Thee (reciting Subhan Allah), uttering Thine Greatness (saying Allah o-Akbar) and uttering Thine Oneness (La ilaha ill Allah) and praising Thee (uttering al-Hamdu Lillah) and begging of Thee. Be would say: What do they beg of Me? They would say: They beg of Thee the Paradise of Thine. He (God) would say: Have they seen My Paradise? They said: No, our Lord. He would say: (What it would be then) if they were to see Mine Paradise? They (the angels) said: They seek Thine protection. He (the Lord) would say: Against what do they seek protection of Mine? They (the angels) would say: Our Lord, from the Hell-Fire. He (the Lord) would say: Have they seen My Fire? They would say: No. He (the Lord) would say: What it would be if they were to see My Fire? They would say: They beg of Thee forgiveness. He would say: I grant pardon to them, and confer upon them what they ask for and grant them protection against which they seek protection. They (the angels) would again say: Our Lord, there is one amongst them such and such simple servant who happened to pass by (that assembly) and sat there along with them (who had been participating in that assembly). He (the Lord) would say: I also grant him pardon, for they are a people the seat-fellows of whom are in no way unfortunate. (Using translation from Muslim 2689)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ ﷻ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضُلًا يَبْتَغُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ وَإِذَا وَجَدُوا مَجْلِسًا فِيهِ ذِكْرٌ قَعَدُوا مَعَهُمْ فَحَضَنَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ حَتَّى يَمْلَئُوا مَابَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا تَفَرَّقُوا عَرَجُوا أَوْ صَعِدُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ قَالَ فَيَسْأَلُهُمُ اللهُ ﷻ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ جِئْنَاكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ عِبَادٍ لَكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُهَلِّلُونَكَ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ قَالَ وَمَاذَا يَسْأَلُونِي؟ قَالُوا يَسْأَلُونَكَ جَنَّتَكَ قَالَ وَهَلْ رَأَوْا جَنَّتِي؟ قَالُوا لَا أَيْ رَبِّ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ قَدْ رَأَوْا جَنَّتِي؟ قَالُوا وَيَسْتَجِيرُونَكَ قَالَ مِمَّ يَسْتَجِيرُونِي؟ قَالُوا مِنْ نَارِكَ يَا رَبِّ قَالَ وَهَلْ رَأَوْا نَارِي؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالُوا وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَكَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ مَا سَأَلُوا وَأَجَرْتُهُمْ مِمَّا اسْتَجَارُوا قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبِّ فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ عَبْدٌ خَطَّاءٌ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ هُمُ الْقَوْمُ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Verily, Allah has angels who roam the gatherings of remembrance. They come together whenever remembrance is mentioned, and ascend from one gathering to another until they reach the heavens. Allah then asks them, even though He already knows, 'Where have you come from?' They reply, 'We have come from Your servants who were seeking Paradise, seeking refuge from Hell, and seeking Your forgiveness.' Allah then asks, 'Have they seen My Paradise?' They reply, 'No, but they believe in it with certainty.' Allah asks again, 'And have they seen Hell?' They reply, 'No, but they seek protection from it.' Allah says, 'If they were to see My Paradise, how would it be for them?' The angels respond, 'It would increase them in faith and devotion.' Allah then asks, 'And if they were to see My Hell, how would it be for them?' The angels respond, 'It would increase them in fear and obedience.' Allah says, 'I have forgiven them.' The angels reply, 'O Lord, among them is a person who happened to be passing by and sat down among them due to necessity.' Allah says, 'Those who sit among them will not be unfortunate.'"
