The Prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone fasts during Ramadan because of faith and in order to seek his reward from Allah, his previous sins will be forgiven to him. If anyone prays in the night of the power (lailat al-qadr) because of faith and in order to seek his reward from Allah his previous sins will be forgiven for him. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted in a similar manner by Yahya b. Abi Kathir and Muhammad b. 'Amr from Abu Salamah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1372)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever stands in prayer on the night of Qadr with faith and seeking reward, all of his previous sins will be forgiven. And whoever fasts in Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, all of his previous sins will be forgiven."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ  

"مَنْ يَقُمْ لَيلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَّدمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ".  

"مَنْ يَقُمْ لَيلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَيُوَافِيهَا إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، يُغْفَرْ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ".  

"مَنْ قَامَ لَيلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا واحْتِسابًا غُفِرَ لَهَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ".  

A Bedouin stood up and started making water in the mosque. The people caught him but the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to leave him and to pour a bucket or a tumbler of water over the place where he had passed the urine. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "You have been sent to make things easy and not to make them difficult."  

قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَبَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعُوهُ وَهَرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ سَجْلاً مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ  

A bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to leave him and pour a bucket or a tumbler (full) of water over the place where he has passed urine. The Prophet then said, " You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been sent to make things difficult for them."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَثَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ لِيَقَعُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَعُوهُ وَأَهْرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ سَجْلاً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ  

"A Bedouin stood up and urinated in the Masjid, ans the people started shouting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: 'Leave him alone, and spill a bucket of water over his urine. For you have been sent to make things easy for people, you have not been sent to make things difficult.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 56)  

قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَبَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعُوهُ فَأَهْرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ سَجْلَ مَاءٍ أَوْ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Call and pour water over his private parts; let it be a measuring amount or a bucketful of water, for you have been sent to make things easy and not to make them difficult."  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعُوهُ وَأَهْرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ سَجْلًا مِنْ مَاءٍ أَوْ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ  

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).  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ يَقُولُ 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

Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the Muslims to do something, he used to order them deeds which were easy for them to do, (according to their strength and endurance). They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are not like you. Allah has forgiven your past and future sins." So Allah's Apostle became angry and it was apparent on his face. He said, "I am the most Allah fearing, and know Allah better than all of you do."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَمَرَهُمْ أَمَرَهُمْ مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ بِمَا يُطِيقُونَ قَالُوا إِنَّا لَسْنَا كَهَيْئَتِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَيَغْضَبُ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ الْغَضَبُ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَتْقَاكُمْ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ أَنَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command them (his companions) with what they could bear, and they would say, "We are not like you in strength. Allah has forgiven you what preceded of your sin and what will follow. So, he would become angry until it could be seen in his face." He (the narrator) said, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say, 'By Allah, I know Allah better than you and I fear Him more than you do with my heart.'"  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِمَا يُطِيقُونَ فَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّا لَسْنَا كَهَيْئَتِكَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ ﷻ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَيَغْضَبُ حَتَّى يُرَى ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُكُمْ بِاللهِ ﷻ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ قَلْبًا  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would command them with what they were capable of, they would say, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are not like you! Indeed, Allah ﷻ has forgiven you for your past and future sins.' She (Aisha) said, 'So he became angry until the anger was apparent on his face.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِمَا يُطِيقُونَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ يَقُولُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَسْنَا كَهَيْئَتِكَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَتْ فَيَغْضَبُ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ الْغَضَبُ فِي وَجْهِهِ  

There was a disagreement between them (i.e. Ibn ʿAbbas and Ibn Az-Zubair) so I went to Ibn ʿAbbas in the morning and said (to him), "Do you want to fight against Ibn Zubair and thus make lawful what Allah has made unlawful (i.e. fighting in Meccas?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "Allah forbid! Allah ordained that Ibn Zubair and Bani Umaiya would permit (fighting in Mecca), but by Allah, I will never regard it as permissible." Ibn ʿAbbas added. "The people asked me to take the oath of allegiance to Ibn AzZubair. I said, 'He is really entitled to assume authority for his father, Az-Zubair was the helper of the Prophet, his (maternal) grandfather, Abu Bakr was (the Prophet's) companion in the cave, his mother, Asma' was 'Dhatun-Nitaq', his aunt, ʿAisha was the mother of the Believers, his paternal aunt, Khadija was the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , and the paternal aunt of the Prophet ﷺ was his grandmother. He himself is pious and chaste in Islam, well versed in the Knowledge of the Qur'an. By Allah! (Really, I left my relatives, Bani Umaiya for his sake though) they are my close relatives, and if they should be my rulers, they are equally apt to be so and are descended from a noble family.  

النَّاسُ بَايِعْ لاِبْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقُلْتُ وَأَيْنَ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ عَنْهُ أَمَّا أَبُوهُ فَحَوَارِيُّ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُرِيدُ الزُّبَيْرَ وَأَمَّا جَدُّهُ فَصَاحِبُ الْغَارِ يُرِيدُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَأُمُّهُ فَذَاتُ النِّطَاقِ يُرِيدُ أَسْمَاءَ وَأَمَّا خَالَتُهُ فَأُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُرِيدُ عَائِشَةَ وَأَمَّا عَمَّتُهُ فَزَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُرِيدُ خَدِيجَةَ وَأَمَّا عَمَّةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَدَّتُهُ يُرِيدُ صَفِيَّةَ ثُمَّ عَفِيفٌ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ قَارِئٌ لِلْقُرْآنِ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ وَصَلُونِي وَصَلُونِي مِنْ قَرِيبٍ وَإِنْ رَبُّونِي رَبَّنِي أَكْفَاءٌ كِرَامٌ فَآثَرَ التُّوَيْتَاتِ وَالأُسَامَاتِ وَالْحُمَيْدَاتِ يُرِيدُ أَبْطُنًا مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ بَنِي تُوَيْتٍ وَبَنِي أُسَامَةَ وَبَنِي أَسَدٍ إِنَّ ابْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بَرَزَ يَمْشِي الْقُدَمِيَّةَ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ وَإِنَّهُ لَوَّى ذَنَبَهُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ  

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  

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."

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]

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]  

When the Prophet ﷺ set out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of those who had gone out with him, returned. The companions of the Prophet ﷺ were divided into two groups. One group said, "We will fight them (i.e. the enemy)," and the other group said, "We will not fight them." So there came the Divine Revelation:-- '(O Muslims!) Then what is the matter within you that you are divided. Into two parties about the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) Because of what they have earned.' (4.88) On that, the Prophet ﷺ said, "That is Taiba (i.e. the city of Medina) which clears one from one's sins as the fire expels the impurities of silver."  

لَمَّا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى أُحُدٍ رَجَعَ نَاسٌ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فِرْقَةً تَقُولُ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ وَفِرْقَةً تَقُولُ لاَ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ فَنَزَلَتْ {فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللَّهُ أَرْكَسَهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا} وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا طَيْبَةُ تَنْفِي الذُّنُوبَ كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْفِضَّةِ  

Rifaʿa divorced his wife whereupon ʿAbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. ʿAisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, ʿAisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When ʿAbdurRahman heard that his wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment, ʿAbdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! She has told a lie! I am very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifaʿa." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifaʿa unless ʿAbdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet ﷺ saw two boys with ʿAbdur- Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that ʿAbdurRahman said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You claim what you claim (i.e.. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow,"  

عَائِشَةُ وَعَلَيْهَا خِمَارٌ أَخْضَرُ فَشَكَتْ إِلَيْهَا وَأَرَتْهَا خُضْرَةً بِجِلْدِهَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنِّسَاءُ يَنْصُرُ بَعْضُهُنَّ بَعْضًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَا يَلْقَى الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ لَجِلْدُهَا أَشَدُّ خُضْرَةً مِنْ ثَوْبِهَا قَالَ وَسَمِعَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ وَمَعَهُ ابْنَانِ لَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ مَا لِي إِلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ إِلاَّ أَنَّ مَا مَعَهُ لَيْسَ بِأَغْنَى عَنِّي مِنْ هَذِهِ وَأَخَذَتْ هُدْبَةً مِنْ ثَوْبِهَا فَقَالَ كَذَبَتْ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَنْفُضُهَا نَفْضَ الأَدِيمِ وَلَكِنَّهَا نَاشِزٌ تُرِيدُ رِفَاعَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ تَحِلِّي لَهُ أَوْ لَمْ تَصْلُحِي لَهُ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ مِنْ عُسَيْلَتِكِ قَالَ وَأَبْصَرَ مَعَهُ ابْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ بَنُوكَ هَؤُلاَءِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ هَذَا الَّذِي تَزْعُمِينَ مَا تَزْعُمِينَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَهُمْ أَشْبَهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْغُرَابِ بِالْغُرَابِ  

I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Which is the biggest sin?" He said, "To set up rivals to Allah by worshipping others though He alone has created you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your child lest it should share your food." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهْوَ خَلَقَكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي وَاصِلٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ وَمَنْصُورٍ وَوَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ دَعْهُ دَعْهُ  

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, which sin is the greatest?" He said, "To set up a rival for Allah while He alone created you." He asked, "Then what?" He said, "To kill your child out of fear that he may share your food with you." He asked, "Then what?" He said, "To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." Abu Hafs said, "Abd al-Rahman reported once from Mansur, al-A'mash, and Wasil, from Abu Wail, from Amr bin Shurahbil, from Abdullah, from the Prophet ﷺ . So I said to Abd al-Rahman, 'Inform me.' Yahya ibn Sa'id reported to us, from Sufyan, from Wasil, from Abu Wail, from Abdullah. Abd al-Rahman said, 'Leave it; he did not mention him again after that.' Wasil reported it."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أِيُّ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ وَلَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْ تَزْنِي بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ قَالَ أَبُو حَفْصٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَرَّةً عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَالْأَعْمَشِ وَوَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثنا يَحْيَى ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَسُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ وَهُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ ثنا وَاصِلٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ دَعْهُ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَاصِلًا  

While I was with the Prophet ﷺ a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the legal punishment on me'.' The Prophet ﷺ did not ask him what he had done. Then the time for the prayer became due and the man offered prayer along with the Prophet ﷺ , and when the Prophet ﷺ had finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Haven't you prayed with us?' He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has forgiven your sin." or said, "....your legally punishable sin."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَىَّ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّلاَةَ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْ فِيَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ أَوْ قَالَ حَدَّكَ  

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin, so establish the punishment on me." The Prophet did not ask him about it. Then the prayer was held, so he prayed with the Prophet ﷺ . When the Prophet ﷺ finished the prayer, the man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have committed a sin, so establish the punishment on me according to the Book of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Didn't you pray with us?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has forgiven your sin."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْهُ عَلَيَّ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْهُ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَالَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَصَبْتُ حَدًّا فَأَقِمْ عَلَيَّ كِتَابَ اللهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ  

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  

[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)  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْنِي الْمُؤْمِنَ فَيَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ وَيَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَيُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُ أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا حَتَّى إِذَا قَرَّرَهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ وَرَأَى فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَلَكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنِّي أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ يُعْطَى كِتَابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيَقُولُ الْأَشْهَادُ {هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ} [هود 18]  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying in a private conversation on the Day of Judgment, "Indeed, Allah will bring the believer close to Him on the Day of Judgment until He places His shield over him, covering him from the people. 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.'"  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدْنِي الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَضَعَ كَنَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ أَتَعْرِفُ ذَنْبَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ حَتَّى إِذَا قَرَّرَهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ وَظَنَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَوْجَبَ قَالَ قَدْ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَإِنِّي أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ وَيُعْطَى كِتَابَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيَقُولُ الْأَشْهَادُ {هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ} »  

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.

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".  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana ʿAbduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa Wa'dika mastata'tu abu'u Laka bi ni 'matika wa abu'u Laka bidhanbi; faghfirli fa'innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba ill a ant a. A'uidhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu.' If somebody recites this invocation during the night, and if he should die then, he will go to Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he recites it in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he will have the same fate."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَيِّدُ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ إِذَا قَالَ حِينَ يُمْسِي فَمَاتَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِذَا قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ فَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ مِثْلَهُ  

The Prophet [SAW] said: "The best of prayers for forgiveness is for a person to say: 'Allahumma, anta rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, abuw'u laka bidhanbi, wa abuw'u laka bini'matika 'alayya faghfirli, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa anta (O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you of the greatest form of seeking forgiveness?" They said, "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "O Allah, there is no god but You. You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am holding to Your covenant and Your promise as much as I can.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِسَيِّدِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَعَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ لَا يَقُولُهَا أَحَدٌ حِينَ يُمْسِي فَيَمُوتُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَلَا يَقُولُهَا أَحَدٌ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ فَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Shall I not guide you to the best of forgiveness?" He said, "O Allah, You are my Lord; You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am steadfast to my covenant and promise to You as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, and I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for none can forgive sins except You. No servant says this supplication and it reaches his Lord on that day, before the evening or morning, except that he will be among the people of Paradise, if Allah wills."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى سَيِّدِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ؟ أَنْ تَقُولَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقُولُهَا فَيَأْتِيهِ قَدَرُهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ أَوْ فِي مَسَائِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ إِلَّا كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»

I acknowledge Your blessing and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for there is none who can forgive sin except You.)' If he says this in the morning, believing in it firmly, and dies on that day before evening comes, he will enter Paradise, and if he says it in the evening, believing firmly in it, and dies before morning comes, he will enter Paradise." Al-Walid bin Tha'labah contradicted him. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5522)

[Machine] Narrated by Bashir, who heard it from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , who said, "Whoever says in the morning, 'O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god except You, You created me and I am Your servant, I am on your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favors upon me and confess my sins to You. So forgive me, for no one forgives sins except You. If a person dies on that day, they will enter Paradise. And if a person dies during the night, it will be the same." Walid ibn Tha'labah disagreed with this statement.  

حَدِّثْنَا بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعَتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَكَذَلِكَ [175] خَالَفَهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone says in the morning or in the evening: "O Allah! Thou art my Lord; there is no god but Thee, Thou hast created me, and I am Thy servant and hold to Thy covenant and promise as much as I can; I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done: I acknowledge Thy favour to me, and I acknowledge my sin; pardon me, for none but Thee pardons sins, and dies during the daytime or during the night." he will go to Paradise. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5070)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ أَوْ حِينَ يُمْسِي فَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ أَوْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
