The Prophet ﷺ used to offer night prayers till his feet became swollen. Somebody said, to him," "Allah has forgiven you, your faults of the past and those to follow." On that, he said, "Shouldn't I be a thankful slave of Allah)?" (Using translation from Bukhārī 4836)

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ «أَفَلَا أَكُونَ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا»

Allah's Apostle ﷺ kept standing in prayer (for such long hours) that his feet were swollen. They (his Companions) said: Verily, Allah has pardoned for thee the earlier and the later of thine sins. Thereupon he said: Should I not prove myself to be a grateful servant (of Allah)? (Using translation from Muslim 2819b)

قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ «أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا؟»

[Machine] "Abu Ali al-Roudbari from Tous narrated that Abu Tahir al-Muhammadabadi informed us that al-Sarri ibn Khuzaymah narrated from al-Hasan ibn Bishr al-Kufi who narrated from al-Mu'afa ibn Imran who narrated from al-Mughirah ibn Ziyad al-Mawsili who narrated from Aisha. She said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray four units of prayer at night and then he would do tawarruk (resting briefly) until I had mercy on him. So I said, 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, Allah has forgiven you for your past sins and your future sins.' He said, 'Should I not be a grateful slave?' Al-Mughirah ibn Ziyad narrated this exclusively, and although his narration is not strong, his statement 'and then he would do tawarruk' is the basis for the practice of the Imam in the Taraweeh prayer. And Allah knows best.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَتَرَوَّحُ فَأَطَالَ حَتَّى رَحِمْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا؟ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَقَوْلُهُ ثُمَّ يَتَرَوَّحُ إِنْ ثَبَتَ فَهُوَ أَصْلٌ فِي تَرَوُّحِ الْإِمَامِ فِي صَلَاةِ التَّرَاوِيحِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood until his feet became swollen. It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, hasn't Allah forgiven you for what has preceded of your sins and what will come?" He replied, "Should I not be a grateful servant?"

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا؟

Messenger of Allah you do this (in spite of the fact) that your earlier and later sins have been pardoned for you? Thereupon, he said. A'isha should I not prove myself to be a thanksgiving servant (of Allah)? (Using translation from Muslim 2820)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى قَامَ حَتَّى تَفْطُرَ رِجْلَاهُ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا؟

The Prophet ﷺ used to offer night prayers till his feet became swollen. Somebody said, to him," "Allah has forgiven you, your faults of the past and those to follow." On that, he said, "Shouldn't I be a thankful slave of Allah)?" (Using translation from Bukhārī 4836)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَرِمَ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ «أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا؟»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ worshipped Allah until he became like a worn-out skin water bag. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what makes you do this when Allah has forgiven your past and future sins?" He replied, "Should I not be a grateful servant?"

"تَعَبَّدَ رسُولُ الله ﷺ حَتَّى صَارَ كَالشَّنِّ (*) البَالِى، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله: مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى هَذَا أَلَيْسَ قَدْ غَفَرَ الله لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ منْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، أَفلاَ أَكوُنُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا".

When it was the night of the middle of Shaban, the Prophet ﷺ slipped out from beneath my cloak—meaning Aishah’s cloak. By Allah, it was not made of striped cloth, nor of silk, nor of linen, nor of cotton, nor of wool; rather, its warp was of hair, though its weft was of camel hair. I thought to myself that he might have gone to one of his wives, so I said, “Let me look for him in the house.” Then my hand fell upon his feet while he was in prostration, and I memorized from his supplication as he was saying:

“I prostrate to You with my darkness and my shadow, and my heart believes in You. I acknowledge to You Your blessings, and I confess to You my sin. I have wronged myself, so forgive me; indeed none forgives the tremendous sin except You. I seek refuge in Your pardon from Your punishment; I seek refuge in Your mercy from Your wrath; I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure; and I seek refuge in You from You. Exalted is Your Face; I cannot enumerate praise of You. You are as You have praised Yourself.”

He continued standing and sitting until morning came, and morning came while his feet had become swollen. I said, “May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you—has Allah not forgiven you your past sins and your future ones?” He said: “O Aishah, should I not be a grateful servant? Do you know what is in this night?” I said, “What is in it?” He said: “In it, every child to be born in this year is written; in it, every one who will die is written; in it, their provisions are sent down; and in it, their deeds are raised.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, does no one enter Paradise except by Allah’s mercy?” He said: “Yes.” I said, “Not even you?” He said: “Not even I—unless Allah envelops me in His mercy.” Then he wiped his hand over his head down to his face.

لَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ، انْسَلَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مِرْطِي، يَعْنِي مِرْطَ عَائِشَةَ، وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ جَزْءٍ، وَلَا قَزٍّ، وَلَا مِنْ كِتَّانٍ، وَلَا كُرْسُفٍ، وَلَا صُوفٍ، إِلَّا كَانَ سُدَاهُ مِنْ شَعَرٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لُحْمَتُهُ مِنْ وَبَرِ الْإِبِلِ. فَأَحْسِبُ نَفْسِي أَنْ يَكُونَ أَتَى بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَلْتَمِسُهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ. فَوَقَعَتْ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ، فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:

«سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِي، وَخَيَالِي، وَآمَنَ بِكَ فُؤَادِي، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِالنِّعَمِ، وَأَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِالذَّنْبِ، ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي، إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ. أَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ. جَلَّ وَجْهُكَ، لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ، أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ».

فَمَا زَالَ قَائِمًا وَقَاعِدًا حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ، فَأَصْبَحَ وَقَدِ اصْطَهَدَتْ قَدَمَاهُ. فَقُلْتُ: بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، أَلَيْسَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ فَقَالَ: «يَا عَائِشَةُ، أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا؟ هَلْ تَدْرِينَ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ؟» قُلْتُ: وَمَا فِيهَا؟ قَالَ: «فِيهَا يُكْتَبُ كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَفِيهَا يُكْتَبُ كُلُّ مَيِّتٍ، وَفِيهَا تُنْزَلُ أَرْزَاقُهُمْ، وَفِيهَا تُرْفَعُ أَعْمَالُهُمْ». قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا أَحَدٌ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ:* «نَعَمْ»*. قُلْتُ: وَلَا أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: «وَلَا أَنَا، إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِي اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ». ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ.

While Ibn ʿUmar was performing the Tawaf (around the Kaʿba), a man came up to him and said, "O Abu ʿAbdurRahman!" or said, "O Ibn ʿUmar! Did you hear anything from the Prophet ﷺ about An35 Najwa?" Ibn ʿUmar said, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'The Believer will be brought near his Lord." (Hisham, a sub-narrator said, reporting the Prophet's words), "The believer will come near (his Lord) till his Lord covers him with His screen and makes him confess his sins. (Allah will ask him), 'Do you know (that you did) 'such-and-such sin?" He will say twice, 'Yes, I do.' Then Allah will say, 'I concealed it in the world and I forgive it for you today.' Then the record of his good deeds will be folded up. As for the others, or the disbelievers, it will be announced publicly before the witnesses: 'These are ones who lied against their Lord."

سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي النَّجْوَى فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يُدْنَى الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ يَدْنُو الْمُؤْمِنُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ فَيُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ تَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا يَقُولُ أَعْرِفُ يَقُولُ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَيَقُولُ سَتَرْتُهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ تُطْوَى صَحِيفَةُ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُونَ أَوِ الْكُفَّارُ فَيُنَادَى عَلَى رُءُوسِ الأَشْهَادِ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالَ شَيْبَانُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ

While I was walking with Ibn ʿUmar holding his hand, a man came in front of us and asked, "What have you heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ about An-Najwa?" Ibn ʿUmar said, "I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Allah will bring a believer near Him and shelter him with His Screen and ask him: Did you commit such-and-such sins? He will say: Yes, my Lord. Allah will keep on asking him till he will confess all his sins and will think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I did screen your sins in the world and I forgive them for you today', and then he will be given the book of his good deeds. Regarding infidels and hypocrites (their evil acts will be exposed publicly) and the witnesses will say: These are the people who lied against their Lord. Behold! The Curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers." (11.18)

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي النَّجْوَى فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْنِي الْمُؤْمِنَ فَيَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ وَيَسْتُرُهُ فَيَقُولُ أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَىْ رَبِّ حَتَّى إِذَا قَرَّرَهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ وَرَأَى فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ هَلَكَ قَالَ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ فَيُعْطَى كِتَابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيَقُولُ الأَشْهَادُ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلاَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ

How did you hear Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying something about intimate conversation? He said: I heard him say: A believer will be brought to his Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, on the Day of Resurrection and He would place upon him His veil (of Light) and make him confess his faults and say: Do you recognise (your faults)? He would say: My Lord, I do recognise (them). He (the Lord) would say: I concealed them for you in the world. And today I forgive them. And he would then be given the Book containing (the account of his) good deeds. And so far as the non-believers and hypocrites are concerned, there would be general announcement about them before all creation telling them that these (people, i. e. non-believers and hypocrites) told a lie about Allah.

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يُدْنَى الْمُؤْمِنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ حَتَّى يَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ فَيُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُ فَيَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنِّي أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ فَيُعْطَى صَحِيفَةَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيُنَادَى بِهِمْ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلاَئِقِ هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ

"We were with 'Abdullah bin 'Umar when he was circumambulating the House; a man came up to him and said: 'O Ibn 'Umar, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah say about the Najwa?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'On the Day of Resurrection, the believer will be brought close to his Lord until He will cover him with His screen, then He will make him confess his sins. He will ask him: "Do you confess?" He will say: "O Lord, I confess." This will continue as long as Allah wills, then He will say: "I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive you for them today." Then he will be given the scroll of his good deeds, or his record, in his right hand. But as for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, (his sins) will be announced before the witnesses.' " (One of the narrators) Khalid said: "At: 'before the witnesses' there is something missing." "These are the ones who lied against their Lord!' No doubt! The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers."

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ فِي النَّجْوَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يُدْنَى الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ ثُمَّ يُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مِنْهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يُعْطَى صَحِيفَةَ حَسَنَاتِهِ أَوْ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ قَالَ وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ أَوِ الْمُنَافِقُ فَيُنَادَى عَلَى رُءُوسِ الأَشْهَادِ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فِي الأَشْهَادِ شَىْءٌ مِنِ انْقِطَاعٍ {هَؤُلاَءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلاَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ}

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying in a confidential conversation on the Day of Resurrection. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Indeed, Allah, the Almighty, brings the believer near and covers him with His screen, concealing him from the people, and firmly establishes his sins, then He says to him, 'Do you recognize this sin? Do you recognize that sin?' He continues to mention his sins until the believer acknowledges all his sins. When Allah has established his sins and the believer sees himself doomed, he says, 'I have concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive them for you today.' Then the believer is given the book of his good deeds. As for the disbelievers and hypocrites, the witnesses will say, 'These are the ones who lied against their Lord. Unquestionably, the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers.'" (Surah Hud 18)

Then He will say, 'Do you recognize this sin and that sin?' The believer will say, 'Yes, my Lord.' Then He will say, 'Do you recognize this sin and that sin?' The believer will say, 'Yes, my Lord.' Until when Allah has made him acknowledge his sins and he thinks within himself that he has deserved punishment, Allah will say, 'I concealed them for you from the people, and today I forgive them for you.' He will be given a book of good deeds. But as for the disbelievers and hypocrites, the witnesses will say, 'These are the ones who lied about their Lord. May the curse of Allah be upon the wrongdoers.'"

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَدْنُو الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ ثُمَّ يُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ هَلْ تَعْرِفُ؟ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ بِهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ قَالَ وَإِنِّي سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ يُعْطَى صَحِيفَةَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ فَيُنَادِي رَبُّهُمْ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ {هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ} [هود 18]

"We were with 'Abdullah bin 'Umar when he was circumambulating the House; a man came up to him and said: 'O Ibn 'Umar, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah say about the Najwa?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'On the Day of Resurrection, the believer will be brought close to his Lord until He will cover him with His screen, then He will make him confess his sins. He will ask him: "Do you confess?" He will say: "O Lord, I confess." This will continue as long as Allah wills, then He will say: "I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive you for them today." Then he will be given the scroll of his good deeds, or his record, in his right hand. But as for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, (his sins) will be announced before the witnesses.' " (One of the narrators) Khalid said: "At: 'before the witnesses' there is something missing." "These are the ones who lied against their Lord!' No doubt! The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 183)

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ فِي النَّجْوَى؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «يَدْنُو الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ حَتَّى يَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ» فَذَكَرَ صَحِيفَتِهُ قَالَ فَيُقَرِّرُهُ ذُنُوبَهُ هَلٍْ تَعْرِفُ؟ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ فَيَقُولُ هَل تَعْرِفُ؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغُهُ بِهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنِّي سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ فَيُعْطَى كِتَابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ فَيُنَادَى عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَيَقُولُ الْأَشْهَادُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ} [هود 18]

While I was walking with Ibn ʿUmar holding his hand, a man came in front of us and asked, "What have you heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ about An-Najwa?" Ibn ʿUmar said, "I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Allah will bring a believer near Him and shelter him with His Screen and ask him: Did you commit such-and-such sins? He will say: Yes, my Lord. Allah will keep on asking him till he will confess all his sins and will think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I did screen your sins in the world and I forgive them for you today', and then he will be given the book of his good deeds. Regarding infidels and hypocrites (their evil acts will be exposed publicly) and the witnesses will say: These are the people who lied against their Lord. Behold! The Curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers." (11.18) (Using translation from Bukhārī 2441)

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ يُدْنِى الْمُؤْمنَ فَيَضَعُ عَلَيهِ كَنَفَهُ، ويَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، ويقَرِّرُهُ بذنُوبه فَيَقُولُ: أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذا؟ أتَعْرفُ ذَنْبَ كَذا؟ فَيَقُولُ: نعم. أي رَبِّ حتَّى إِذا قَرَّرَهَ بِذنوبِه، وَرَأى فِي نَفْسِه أَنَّه قَدْ هَلَك، قَال: فَإِنِّى قَدْ سَتَرْتُها عَلَيكَ في الدُّنْيَا، وأنَا أغْفِرُها لك الْيَوْمَ، ثُمَّ يُعْطَى كِتابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ بِيَمينهِ. وَأمَّا الكَّافِرُ، والْمُنافِقُ فَيَقُولُ الأَشْهَادُ: هَؤُلاءِ الذّينَ كَذَبوا عَلَى ربّهَم ألا لعنة الله على الظالمين".

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If somebody commits a sin and then says, 'O my Lord! I have sinned, please forgive me!' and his Lord says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).' Then he remains without committing any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without Committing any another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he can do whatever he likes."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ عَبْدًا أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا فَقَالَ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَصَبْتُ فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ رَبُّهُ أَعَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي ثُمَّ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا أَوْ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا فَقَالَ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ أَوْ أَصَبْتُ آخَرَ فَاغْفِرْهُ فَقَالَ أَعَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي ثُمَّ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ أَصَابَ ذَنْبًا قَالَ قَالَ رَبِّ أَصَبْتُ أَوْ أَذْنَبْتُ آخَرَ فَاغْفِرْهُ لِي فَقَالَ أَعَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي ثَلاَثًا فَلْيَعْمَلْ مَا شَاءَ

The Prophet ﷺ related, narrating from his Lord ﷻ, that a servant committed a sin and said, "O Allah, forgive my sin." Allah said, "My servant committed a sin and knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and takes to account for the sin." Then the servant returned and sinned again and said, "O Lord, forgive my sin." Allah said, "My servant committed a sin and knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and takes to account for the sin." Then the servant returned once more and sinned and said, "O Lord, forgive my sin." Allah said, "My servant committed a sin and knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and takes to account for the sin. Do whatever you wish, for I have forgiven you." 'Abd al-Ala said, "I do not know whether he said this after the third or the fourth time: 'Do whatever you wish...'"

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

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that a man committed a sin and said, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin' or he said, 'I have performed a sinful act, so forgive me.' Allah (may He be glorified and exalted) said, 'My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them; I have forgiven My servant.' Then, he committed another sin or said, 'He committed another sin.' He said, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin, so forgive me.' Allah (may He be glorified and exalted) said, 'My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them; I have forgiven My servant.' Then, he committed another sin or said, 'He committed another sin.' He said, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin, so forgive me.' Allah (may He be glorified and exalted) said, 'My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them; I have forgiven My servant.' My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them; I have forgiven My servant.' He bears witness to you all that Allah has forgiven his servant; let him do whatever he wishes."

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". (Using translation from Muslim 2758a)

A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ asking how the worship of Prophet ﷺ was. When they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient. They said, "Where are we from the Prophet ﷺ as his past and future sins have been forgiven?" Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." 

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more in awe of Allah and more conscious of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I pray and I sleep and I marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah (tradition) is not from me."

جَاءَ ثَلاَثَةُ رَهْطٍ إِلَى بُيُوتِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرُوا كَأَنَّهُمْ تَقَالُّوهَا، فَقَالُوا: وَأَيْنَ نَحْنُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ أَبَدًا، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: أَنَا أَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ وَلاَ أُفْطِرُ، وَقَالَ آخَرُ: أَنَا أَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ فَلاَ أَتَزَوَّجُ أَبَدًا۔ 

فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ، لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ، وَأُصَلِّي وَأَرْقُدُ، وَأَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ، فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي»

A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ asking how the Prophet ﷺ worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet ﷺ as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers). (Using translation from Bukhārī 5063)

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ رَهْطٍ إِلَى بُيُوتِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرُوا كَأَنَّهُمْ تَقَالُّوهَا فَقَالُوا وَأَيْنَ نَحْنُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ أَبَدًا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ أَنَا أَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ وَلَا أُفْطِرُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ أَنَا أَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ وَلَا أَتَزَوَّجُ أَبَدًا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ «أَنْتُمُ الَّذِي قُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَرْقُدُ وَأَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي»
