"مَنْ قَرَأَ حمَ الدُّخَان في لَيلَة، أَصْبَحَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلفَ مَلك".  

"My mother asked me: 'When is your planned time - meaning with the Prophet ﷺ?' So I said: 'I have not had a planned time to see him since such and such time.' She rebuked me, so I said to her: 'Let me go to the Prophet ﷺ so that I may perform Maghrib (prayer) with him, and ask him to seek forgiveness for you and I.' So I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and I prayed Maghrib with him, then he prayed until he prayed Al-'Isha. Then he turned, and I followed him, and he heard my voice, and said: 'Who is this? Hudhaifah?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: "What is your need, may Allah forgive you and your mother?' He said: 'Indeed, this is an angel that never descended to the earth ever before tonight. He sought permission from his Lord to greet me with peace and to give me the glad tidings that Fatimah is the chief of the women of Paradise, and that Al-Hasan and Al-Husain are the chiefs of the youths of the people of Paradise.'"  

سَأَلَتْنِي أُمِّي مَتَى عَهْدُكَ تَعْنِي بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ مَا لِي بِهِ عَهْدٌ مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَنَالَتْ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ لَهَا دَعِينِي آتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأُصَلِّيَ مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ وَأَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي وَلَكِ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ فَصَلَّى حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَلأُمِّكَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا مَلَكٌ لَمْ يَنْزِلِ الأَرْضَ قَطُّ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَىَّ وَيُبَشِّرَنِي بِأَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ  

[Machine] My mother asked me, "Since when have you had a connection with the Prophet ﷺ?" I replied, "Since this and that time." She then became displeased with me and cursed me. I said to her, "Leave me alone, for I will go to the Prophet ﷺ and pray Maghrib with him, and then I will not leave until he seeks forgiveness for me and for you." So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and prayed Maghrib with him. The Prophet ﷺ then prayed Isha and finished. I followed him, and someone approached him privately and spoke to him. Then, the person left, and I followed him. He heard my voice and asked, "Who is this?" I said, "Hudhaifah." He asked, "What do you want?" So, I informed him of the matter. He said, "May Allah forgive you and your mother." Then he said, "Did you see the person who approached me earlier?" I said, "Yes." He said, "That was an angel from the angels who had never descended to the Earth before this night. He sought permission from his Lord to greet me and give me glad tidings that Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are the chiefs of the youth of Paradise, and that Fatimah is the chief of the women of Paradise."  

سَأَلَتْنِي أُمِّي مُنْذُ مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَنَالَتْ مِنِّي وَسَبَّتْنِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا دَعِينِي فَإِنِّي آتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ لَا أَدَعُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي وَلَكِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ [إِلَى] الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّانْفَتَلَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ عَارِضٌ فَنَاجَاهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ حُذَيْفَةُ قَالَ مَا لَكَ؟ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِالْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ وَلِأُمِّكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا رَأَيْتَ الْعَارِضَ الَّذِي عَرَضَ لِي قُبَيْلُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَهُوَ مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَمْ يَهْبِطِ الْأَرْضَ قَطُّ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ وَيُبَشِّرَنِي أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

(Using translation from Tirmidhī 3781)

[Machine] "When he asked him, 'When was the last time you saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He replied, 'I don't have a chance to see him since such and such, so she understood that she could get something from me, so I said to her, 'Leave me alone, for I will not leave him until he asks forgiveness for me and asks forgiveness for you.' I prayed with him the Maghrib prayer, then he stood and prayed until he prayed the Isha prayer, then he left and I left with him. Suddenly, someone obstructed him and he disappeared from my sight.' I said, 'Huzaifah?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, did you see the person who obstructed me?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Indeed, he is an angel from the angels who sought permission from his Lord to greet me and to inform me that Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are the masters of the youth of Paradise and that Fatima bint Muhammad ﷺ is the mistress of the women of the people of Paradise.'"  

لَهُ «مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟» فَقَالَ مَا لِي بِهِ عَهْدٌ مُنْذُ كَذَا فَهَمَّتْ أَنْ تَنَالَ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ «دَعِينِي فَإِنِّي أَذْهَبُ فَلَا أَدَعُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي وَيَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكِ وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ فَإِذَا عَارِضٌ قَدْ عَرَضَ لَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فَرَآنِي» فَقَالَ «حُذَيْفَةُ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الْعَارِضَ الَّذِي عَرَضَ لِي؟ قُلْتُ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ لِيُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ وَلِيُبَشِّرَنِي أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»  

"عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: "سَأَلَتْنِى أُمِّى: مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِالنَّبِىِّ ﷺ ؟ قُلْتُ: مُذْ كَذَا، وَكَذَا، فَدَعَتْنِى أُصَلِّى مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ، ثُمَّ لَا أَدَعُهُ حتَّى يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِى وَلَكِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ، فَصَلَّى حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى حَتَّى لَمْ يبْقَ فِى المَسْجِدِ أَحَدٌ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُ عَارِضٌ فَنَاجَاهُ، ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ فَعَرَفَ صَوْتِى فَقَالَ: حُذَيْفَةُ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ غَفَرَ الله لَكَ، وَلأُمِّكَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ؟ هَذَا مَلَكٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَزَلَ قَبْلَ الَّليْلَةِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ

اسْتَأذَنَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، وَبَشَّرَنِى أَنَّ فَاطِمةَ سيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَأَنَّ الحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ".  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated for forgiveness for me on the Night of the Camel, twenty-five times."  

اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْبَعِيرِ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَعِيرِ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَبَاعَ بَعِيرَهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَاشْتَرَطَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُ جَابِرٌ لَيْلَةَ بِعْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْبَعِيرَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً وَكَانَ جَابِرٌ قَدْ قُتِلَ أَبُوهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ بَنَاتٍ فَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَعُولُهُنَّ وَيُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبَرُّ جَابِرًا وَيَرْحَمُهُ لِسَبَبِ ذَلِكَ هَكَذَا رُوِيَ فِي حَدِيثٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ نَحْوُ هَذَا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever sits in a sitting and engages in much empty, meaningless speech and then says before getting from that sitting of his: ‘Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except You, I seek You forgiveness, and I repent to You, (Subḥānaka Allāhumma wa biḥamdika, ashhadu an lā ilāha illā anta, astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilaik)’ whatever occurred in that sitting would be forgiven to him.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَكَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ فَقَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُهَيْلٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ  

[Machine] Narrated by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ : "Whoever sits in a gathering where there is idle talk, and before leaving, says: 'Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk' (Glory be to You, O Allah, and all praise is due to You. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You),' Allah will forgive him for what was said in that gathering."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ كَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ فَقَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ سُبْحَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ ثُمَّ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Whoever sits in a gathering where there is excessive vain talk, then says before getting up, 'Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be to You. There is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You,' except that he will be forgiven for what was in that gathering."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ كَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ would not get up from a gathering until he said, "Glory be to You, O Allah, and I praise You. I seek Your forgiveness and I turn to You in repentance." Then he would say, "Indeed, this is an expiation for whatever occurs in the gathering."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَقُومُ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ حَتَّى يَقُولَ «سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهَا كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا يَكُونُ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Whoever sits in a gathering where there is a lot of idle talk, then before getting up, says, 'Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika, la ilaha illa ant, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk' (Glory be to You, O Allah, and I praise You. There is no deity except You. I seek forgiveness from You and I repent to You), he will be forgiven for whatever occurred in that gathering."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ كَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ سُبْحَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ  

"مَا مِنْ إِنْسَان يَكُونُ فِي مَجلِس فَيَقُولُ حين يُرِيدُ أن يَقُومَ سبحَانَك اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، لَا إِلَه إلا أَنْتَ، أسْتغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيكَ إِلًّا غفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ في ذَلك المجلَس".  

"مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِس فَكَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ، فقَال قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ {من مجلسه ذلك}: سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ {ربنا} وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلهَ إلا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيكَ إلا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَان فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ".  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Verily, when the slave (of Allah) commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. When he refrains from it, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it increases until it covers his entire heart. And that is the ‘Ran’ which Allah mentioned: ‘Nay, but on their hearts is the Ran which they used to earn.’”  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئَةً نُكِتَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَتَابَ سُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ وَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ قَلْبَهُ وَهُوَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ {كلاَّ بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14]  

“When the believer commits sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents and gives up that sin and seeks forgiveness, his heart will be polished. But if (the sin) increases, (the black spot) increases. That is the Ran that Allah mentions in His Book: “Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.” [83:14]  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ صُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ فَإِنْ زَادَ زَادَتْ فَذَلِكَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ {كَلاَّ بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14]

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئَةً نُكِتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَتَابَ صُقِلَتْ فَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا وَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} »  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Verily, when the slave (of Allah) commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. When he refrains from it, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it increases until it covers his entire heart. And that is the ‘Ran’ which Allah mentioned: ‘Nay, but on their hearts is the Ran which they used to earn.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3334)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئَةً نُكِتَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَتَابَ صَقَلَتْ قَلْبَهُ وَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ قَلْبَهُ فَهُوَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14]  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Verily, when the slave (of Allah) commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. When he refrains from it, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it increases until it covers his entire heart. And that is the ‘Ran’ which Allah mentioned: ‘Nay, but on their hearts is the Ran which they used to earn.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3334)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئَةً نُكِتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَتَابَ صُقِلَتْ وَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا حَتَّى تُغْلِقَ قَلْبَهُ فَهُوَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, when a believer commits a sin, there is a black spot in his heart. If he repents, removes it, and seeks forgiveness, his heart is polished. But if he returns to sin, it increases until his heart is sealed with it. This is what Allah mentioned in His book, 'No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning' [Al-Mutaffifin 14]." The scholar mentioned that these narrations, along with those similar to them, serve as a warning and a reminder for those who persist in committing sins without seeking forgiveness and neglecting to repent from them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ صُقِلَ مِنْهَا قَلْبُهُ فَإِنْ عَادَ رَانَتْ حَتَّى يُغْلَقَ بِهَا قَلْبُهُ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي كِتَابِهِ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14] قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارُ وَمَا جَانَسَهَا فِي التَّغْلِيظِ وَالتَّشْدِيدِ فِيمَنْ أَصَرَّ عَلَى الذُّنُوبِ غَيْرَ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ مِنْهَا وَلَا مُحَدِّثٍ نَفْسَهُ بِتَرْكِهَا  

the Messenger of Allah said: “Verily, when the slave (of Allah) commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. When he refrains from it, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it increases until it covers his entire heart. And that is the ‘Ran’ which Allah mentioned: ‘Nay, but on their hearts is the Ran which they used to earn.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3334)   

"إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئةً نُكتَتْ في قَلبِه نُكْتَةٌ سَوْداءُ، فَإِنْ هُوَ نَزَعَ، واسْتَغْفَرَ، وَتَابَ صَقُلَ قَلبُه، وإنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيها حتَّى تَعْلُوَ عَلى قَلْبِه، وَهو الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ: {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} ".  

I heard the Messenger of Allah say, “Allah ﷻ said: 'O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and have hope in ˹meeting˺ Me, I will forgive you despite whatever may have occurred from you and I do not mind; O son of Adam! If your sins reach the clouds in the sky and then you seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you and I do not mind; O son of Adam! If you come to me with sins as great as the earth and then you meet Me not associating anything with Me, I will come to you with forgiveness as great as it.’”  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي، غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَلاَ أُبَالِي؛ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي، غَفَرْتُ لَكَ وَلاَ أُبَالِي؛ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَتَيْتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتَنِي لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا، لأَتَيْتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً۔»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , in what he narrates from His Lord, it is reported that He said, "O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I will forgive you for whatever sins you have and I will not mind. O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach the height of the heavens, then you seek forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you come to Me with an earthful of sins and meet Me without associating anything with Me, I will come to you with an earthful of forgiveness."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَرْوِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي فَإِنِّي سَأَغْفِرُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَلَوْ لَقِيتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا لَلَقِيتُكَبِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً وَلَوْ عَمِلْتَ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ مَا لَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئًا ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي لَغَفَرْتُ لَكَ ثُمَّ لَا أُبَالِي  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ from his Lord, He said: O son of Adam, as long as you invoke and hope in Me, I will forgive you for whatever sins you have committed, O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach the clouds in the sky and then you seek My forgiveness, I will forgive you and I will not mind.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنْ تَلْقَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا لَقِيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكَ بِي شَيْئًا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تُذْنِبْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ ذَنْبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ تَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرْ لَكَ وَلَا أُبَالِي  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ from his Lord, he said: "O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I will forgive you for whatever sins you have and I do not care. O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you seek My forgiveness, I will forgive you and I do not care."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَي مَا كَانَ فِيكَ ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَلْقَانِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا لَقِيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكَ بِي شَيْئًا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تُذْنِبْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ ذَنْبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ تَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرْ لَكَ وَلَا أُبَالِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah (swt) said, 'O son of Adam, as long as you invoke and hope for My forgiveness, I will forgive you for whatever sins you have and I do not mind. O son of Adam, even if your sins reached the clouds of the sky and then you seek My forgiveness, I will forgive you.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَلَوْ أَتَيْتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا لَقِيتُكَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مَغْفِرَةً مَا لَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِي وَلَوْ بَلَغَتْ خَطَايَاكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي لَغَفَرْتُ لَكَ  

"عَنْ مَعْدِ يكَرِب، عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَرْوِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ - ﷻ- قَالَ: يَا بْنَ آدَمَ مَا دَعَوْتِني وَرَجَوْتَني فَإِنِّي سَأَغْفِرُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ، لَوْ لَقِيتنِي بِقُرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطَايَا، لَقِيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفَرَةً، وَلَوْ عَمِلْتَ مِنَ الخَطَايَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ مَا لَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئًا ثُمَ اسْتَغْفَرْتَني غَفَرْتُ لَكَ وَلا أُبَالَي".  

"قَال اللهُ: يَا بنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَني وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرت لَكَ مَا كَانَ منْكَ وَلَا أُبَالي، يَا بنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَعتْ ذُنُوبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاء ثُمَّ اسْتغْفَرْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ وَلَا أَبَالِي، يَا بْنَ آدَمَ لَو أنَّكَ أَتَيتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطَايَا، ثُمَّ لَقيتَنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيئًا لأَتَيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً".  

"I was sitting with the Prophet when some drink was brought, so he drank from it, then he offered it to me and I drank it. Then I said: 'I have indeed sinned, so seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'What is that?' I said: 'I was fasting, then I broke the fast.' He said: 'Were you performing a fast that you had to make up?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Then it is no harm for you.'"  

كُنْتُ قَاعِدَةً عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ وَمَا ذَاكِ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً فَأَفْطَرْتُ فَقَالَ أَمِنْ قَضَاءٍ كُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ قَالَتْ لاَ قَالَ فَلاَ يَضُرُّكِ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَعَائِشَةَ  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he was brought a drink. He drank from it and then handed it to me, and I drank from it. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin, so seek forgiveness for me." He asked, "What is it?" I said, "I was fasting and I broke my fast." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Were you fulfilling any obligations?" She said, "No." He said, "Then it does not harm you."  

كُنْتُ قَاعِدَةً عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأُتِيَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِيهِ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» قُلْتُ كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً فَأَفْطَرْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمِنْ قَضَاءٍ كُنْتِ تَقْضِيهِ؟» قَالَتْ لَا قَالَ «فَلَا يَضُرُّكِ»

"Allah,Most High said: 'O My Slaves! All of you are astray except whom I guide, so ask Me for guidance and I shall guide you. All of you are poor except whom I enrich, so ask Me and I shall provide you. All of you are sinners except whom I have pardoned, so whoever among you knows that I am the One able to forgive, and seeks My forgiveness, I shall forgive him, without concern for Me (and it will not affect Me). If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead among you, the fresh among you and the dry among you were to gather together to help the heart with the most Taqwa among My slaves, that would not add a mosquito's wing to My sovereignty. If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead among you, the fresh among you and the dry among you were to gather together to help the worst heart of My slaves, that would not diminish a mosquito's wing to My sovereignty. I shall forgive him, without concern for Me (and it will not affect Me). If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead among you, the fresh among you and the dry among you were to gather together upon one plateau, and each person among them were to ask for his utmost desire, and I were to give each what he asked for, that would not diminish from My sovereignty, except as if one of you were to pass by an ocean and dip a needle into it and then remove it. That is because I am the Most Liberal without need, the Most Generous, doing as I will. I give by My speech and I punish by My speech, whenever I will something I only say: "Be" and it shall be.'" Another chain reports a similar narration.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ عَافَيْتُ فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَمَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْكُمْ أَنِّي ذُو قُدْرَةٍ عَلَى الْمَغْفِرَةِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَنِي بِقُدْرَتِي غَفَرْتُ لَهُ وَلَا أُبَالِي وَكُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُ فَسَلُونِي الْهُدَى أَهْدِكُمْ وَكُلُّكُمْ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَغْنَيْتُ فَسَلُونِي أَرْزُقْكُمْ وَلَوْ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَأُولَاكُمْ وَأُخْرَاكُمْ وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى قَلْبِ أَتْقَى عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي لَمْ يَزِيدُوا فِي مُلْكِي جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَأُوَّلَكُمْ وَآَخِرَكُمْ وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا فَسَأَلَ كُلُّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا بَلَغَتْ أُمْنِيَّتُهُ وَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ سَائِلٍ مَا سَأَلَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْنِي إِلَّا كَمَا لَوْ مَرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى شَفَةِ الْبَحْرِ فَغَمَسَ إِبْرَةً ثُمَّ انْتَزَعَهَا ذَلِكَ لِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ وَاجِدٌ أَفْعَلُ مَا أَشَاءُ عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ وَعَذَابِي كَلَامٌ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ لَهُكُنْ فَيَكُونُ  

“Allah the Blessed and Exalted says: ‘O My slaves, all of you are sinners except those whom I have saved. So ask Me for forgiveness, I will forgive you. Whoever among you knows that I have the power to forgive and asks Me to forgive by My power, I will forgive him. All of you are astray except those whom I guide. Ask Me for guidance and I will guide you. All of you are poor except those whom I enrich (make independent of means). Ask of Me and I will grant you provision. Even if your living and your dead, your first and your last, your fresh and your dry, were all as pious as the most pious among My slaves, that would not increase my dominion as much as a gnat’s wing, and if they were to be as evil as the most evil among My slaves, that would not detract from My dominion as much as a gnat’s wing. Even if your living and your dead, your first and your last, your fresh and your dry, were to join together and each of them were to ask for all that he wishes for, that would only detract from My dominion as much as if one of you were to pass by the edge of the sea and dip a needle in it and withdraw it.

from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] (regarding): 'And seek forgiveness for your sins, and also for the believing men and women (47:19).' That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed I ask Allah for forgiveness seventy times a day."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ (واسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ) فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَيُرْوَى عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَرَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said to him: “Should I not direct you to the chief of supplications for forgiveness? ‘O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship except You, You created me and I am Your slave. I am adhering to Your covenant and Your promise as much as I am able to, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I admit to You your blessings upon me, and I admit to my sins. So forgive me, for there is none who can forgive sins except You (Allāhumma anta rabbī lā ilāha illā anta, khalaqtanī wa ana ʿabduka, wa ana ʿalā ʿahdika wa waʿdika ma-staṭaʿtu. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri ma ṣanaʿtu, wa abū'u ilayka biniʿmatika ʿalayya wa aʿtarifu bidhunūbī faghfirlī dhunūbī innahu lā yaghfirudh-dhunūba illā ant).’ None of you says it when he reaches the evening, and a decree comes upon him before he reaches morning, except that Paradise becomes obligatory upon him. And none says it when he reaches the morning, and a decree comes upon him before he reaches evening, except that Paradise becomes obligatory for him.”

“I used to guide my father after he lost his sight, and when I took him out for the Friday (prayer), when he heard the Adhan he would pray for forgiveness for Abu Umamah As’ad bin Zurarah, and supplicate for him. I heard that from him for a while, then I said to myself: ‘By Allah! What is this weakness? Every time he heard the Adhan for Friday (prayer) I hear him praying for forgiveness for Abu Umamah and supplicate for him, and I do not ask him about why he does that.’ Then I took him out for Friday (prayer), as I used to take him out, and when he heard the Adhan he prayed for forgiveness as he used to do. I said to him: ‘O my father! I see you supplicating for As’ad bin Zurarah every time you hear the call for Friday; why is that?’ He said: ‘O my son, he was the first one who led us for the Friday prayer before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came from Makkah, in Naqi’ Al- Khadamat (a place near Al-Madinah), in the plain of Harrah Banu Bayadah.’ I asked: ‘How many of you were there at that time?’ He said: ‘Forty men.’”  

كُنْتُ قَائِدَ أَبِي حِينَ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَسَمِعَ الأَذَانَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لأَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ وَدَعَا لَهُ فَمَكَثْتُ حِينًا أَسْمَعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ ذَا لَعَجْزٌ إِنِّي أَسْمَعُهُ كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ أَذَانَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لأَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ لِمَ هُوَ؟ فَخَرَجْتُ بِهِ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الأَذَانَ اسْتَغْفَرَ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَرَأَيْتَكَ صَلاَتَكَ عَلَى أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ كُلَّمَا سَمِعْتَ النِّدَاءَ بِالْجُمُعَةِ لِمَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ أَىْ بُنَىَّ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ صَلَّى بِنَا صَلاَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ مَقْدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فِي نَقِيعِ الْخَضِمَاتِ فِي هَزْمٍ مِنْ حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ قُلْتُ كَمْ كُنْتُمُ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلاً  

[Machine] I was the leader of my father when his eyesight deteriorated, so I went with him to the Friday prayer. When he heard the call to prayer, he prayed for Abu Umamah As'ad bin Zurarah and sought forgiveness for him. So I stayed for a long time without hearing the call to Friday prayer until he did that. So I said, "Oh father, do you see your seeking forgiveness for Abu Umamah every time you hear the call to Friday prayer?" He said, "O my son, he was the first one to gather with us in Madinah during the Battle of Khandaq from the tribe of Banu Bayadah, which is called Naqiyah Al-Khadamat." I said, "How many were you that day?" He said, "Forty men."  

كُنْتُ قَائِدَ أَبِي حِينَ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ إِذْ خَرَجْتُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَسَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ صَلَّى عَلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ فَمَكَثْتُ كَثِيرًا لَا يَسْمَعُ أَذَانَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبِي أَرَأَيْتَ اسْتِغْفَارَكَ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ كُلَّمَا سَمِعْتَ الْأَذَانَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ «أَيْ بُنَيُّ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَمَّعَ بِنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي هَزْمِ النَّبْتِ مِنْ حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ يُقَالُ لَهَا نَقِيعُ الْخَضَمَاتِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ «أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا»  

[Machine] I was the leader of my father when his sight failed. Whenever I went out to Friday prayers, he would hear the call to prayer and seek forgiveness for Ummamah As'ad ibn Zurarah. So I would stay for a while to hear that from him. I said to myself, there is nothing stopping me from asking him about this. So I went out with him as I usually do. When he heard the call to prayer for Friday, he sought forgiveness for him. So I said, "Oh my father, have you noticed that you seek forgiveness for As'ad ibn Zurarah every time you hear the call to prayer for Friday?" He said, "Oh my son, As'ad was the first one of us to gather in Medina before the arrival of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the battle of Hurrah of Bani Bayadah in Naki' Al-Khadimah. I said, how many were you that day? He said, forty men."

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Everyone in the universe, in the heavens and on earth, prays for forgiveness for the scholar, even the fish in the sea."

It was narrated from ‘Irbad bin Sariyah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ask for forgiveness for the first row three times and for the second row twice.
