the Prophet ﷺ passed by a tree with dry leaves, so he struck it with his staff, making the leaves fall. Then he said: “Indeed, ‘all praise is due to Allah, (Al-Ḥamdulillāhh)’ ‘glory to Allah, (Subḥān Allāh)’ ‘none has the right to be worshipped by Allah, (Lā Ilāha Illallāh)’ and ‘Allah is the greatest (Allāhu Akbar)’ cause the sins to fall from the worshipper, just as the leaves of this tree fall.”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِشَجَرَةٍ يَابِسَةِ الْوَرَقِ فَضَرَبَهَا بِعَصَاهُ فَتَنَاثَرَ الْوَرَقُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَتُسَاقِطُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِ الْعَبْدِ كَمَا تَسَاقَطَ وَرَقُ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ لِلأَعْمَشِ سَمَاعًا مِنْ أَنَسٍ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَآهُ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ

"عَنِ الأعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ أمْشِى مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَمَر بشَجَرَة قَدْ يَبِسَ وَرَقُهَا فَضَرَبهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَضًا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ فَتَسَاقَطَ وَرَقُهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ : إِنَّ سبحَانَ الله، وَالحَمْد لله، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إلَّا الله، وَالله أكْبَرُ، تُسَاقِطنَ الذنوبَ كَمَا تُسَاقِطُ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا".

when death reached him, he said: “I have concealed something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: ‘If you did not sin, Allah would create a creation that would sin, so He will forgive them.’”

أَنَّهُ قَالَ حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَدْ كَتَمْتُ عَنْكُمْ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنَّكُمْ تُذْنِبُونَ لَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ خَلْقًا يُذْنِبُونَ وَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ عَنْ عُمَرَ مَوْلَى غَفْرَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ

“There is not a man who calls upon Allah with a supplication, except that he is answered. Either it shall be granted to him in the world, or reserved for him in the Hereafter, or, his sins shall be expiated for it according to the extent that he supplicated - as long as he does not supplicate for some sin, or for the severing of the ties of kinship, and he does not become hasty.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, and how would he be hasty?” He ﷺ said: “He says: ‘I called upon my Lord, but He did not answer me.’”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِدُعَاءٍ إِلاَّ اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ يُعَجَّلَ لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُدَّخَرَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا دَعَا مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ أَوْ يَسْتَعْجِلُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَعْجِلُ قَالَ يَقُولُ دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي فَمَا اسْتَجَابَ لِي هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

"مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ إِلا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ، فَإِمَّا أنْ يُعَجَّلَ لَهُ في الدُّنْيَا، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُدَّخَرَ لَهُ في الآخِرَةِ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُكَفَّر عَنْهُ مِنْ ذنوبِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا دَعَا، مَا لَمْ يَدع بإِثمٍ أَوْ قَطيعَةِ رَحِمٍ، أَوْ يَسْتَعْجِل، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكيفَ يَسْتَعْجِلُ؟ قَال: يَقُولُ: دَعَوْتُ ربِّي فَمَا اسْتَجَابَ لِي".

" 'Abdullah [bin Mas'ud] narrated two Ahadith to us, one of them from himself and the other from the Prophet ﷺ. 'Abdullah said: 'The believer sees his sins as if he was at the base of a mountain, fearing that it was about to fall upon him. The wicked person sees his sins as if (they are) flies are hitting his nose" he said: "Like this" - motioning with his hand - "to get them to fly away."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَأَنَّهُ فِي أَصْلِ جَبَلٍ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ يَرَى ذُنُوبَهُ كَذُبَابٍ وَقَعَ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ قَالَ بِهِ هَكَذَا فَطَارَ

"Whoever shames his brother for a sin, he shall not die until he (himself) commits it." (One of the narrators) Ahmad said: They said: 'From a sin he has repented from."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ عَيَّرَ أَخَاهُ بِذَنْبٍ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَعْمَلَهُ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ قَدْ تَابَ مِنْهُ

"مَنْ عَيَّرَ أَخَاهُ بذَنْبٍ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَعْمَلَهُ".

"Cheer up, for indeed Allah said: 'It is My Fire which I impose upon My sinning slave as his portion of the Fire." (Hasan) Al-Hasan said: "They would hope that the fever that occurred at night would atone for any deficiency caused by sins."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَادَ رَجُلاً مِنْ وَعَكٍ كَانَ بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ هِيَ نَارِي أُسَلِّطُهَا عَلَى عَبْدِي الْمُذْنِبِ لِتَكُونَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ كَانُوا يَرْتَجُونَ الْحُمَّى لَيْلَةً كَفَّارَةً لِمَا نَقَصَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ تَمَّ كِتَابُ الطِّبِّ وَيَلِيهِ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ

the Prophet said: Whoever takes in an orphan among the Muslims to raise, to feed him and give him drink, Allah admits him into Paradise without a doubt, unless he has done a sin for which he is not forgiven."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَبَضَ يَتِيمًا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وَشَرَابِهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ الْبَتَّةَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ ذَنْبًا لاَ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْفِهْرِيِّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ

"مَنْ قَبَضَ يَتِيمًا مِنْ بَينِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ وشَرَابِهِ أدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ الْبَتَّةَ، إِلا أَنْ يَعْمَلَ ذَنْبًا لا يُغْفَرُ".

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever recited Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad two hundred times everyday, fifty years worth of his sins will be removed - unless he owed a debt." And another narration with this chain, from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Whoever wants to sleep upon his bed and sleeps on his right side, then he recites Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad one hundred times, then on the Day of Judgement the Lord, Blessed and Most High shall say: 'O My slave! Enter Paradise on your right.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِائَتَىْ مَرَّةٍ (قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ) مُحِيَ عَنْهُ ذُنُوبُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَنَامَ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَْ (قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ) مِئَةَ مَرَّةٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ لَهُ الرَّبُّ يَا عَبْدِي ادْخُلْ عَلَى يَمِينِكَ الْجَنَّةَ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When the Children of Isra'il fell into decline, a man among them would see his brother committing a sin, and prohibit them from it. The next day, what he saw him doing would not prevent him from eating with him, drinking with him, and associating with him. So Allah pitted their hearts against each other, and He revealed about them in the Qur'an, He said: Those among the Children of Isra'il who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud and 'Eisa, son of Mariam. That was because they disobeyed and were ever transgressing.' And he recited until he reached: 'And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet, and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them as friends; but many of them are rebellious (5:78-81).' He said: "And Allah's Prophet ﷺ was reclining, so he sat up and said: 'No! Not until you take the hand of the wrong-doer and incline him toward the truth.'"

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا وَقَعَ فِيهِمُ النَّقْصُ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِيهِمْ يَرَى أَخَاهُ عَلَى الذَّنْبِ فَيَنْهَاهُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مَا رَأَى مِنْهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَكِيلَهُ وَشَرِيبَهُ وَخَلِيطَهُ فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَنَزَلَ فِيهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ فَقَالَ ( لُعِِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ ) فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ (وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ) قَالَ وَكَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ لاَ حَتَّى تَأْخُذُوا عَلَى يَدَىِ الظَّالِمِ فَتَأْطِرُوهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ أَطْرًا حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ وَأَمْلاَهُ عَلَىَّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ

“When the Children of Isral became deficient in religious commitment, a man would see his brother committing sin and would tell him not to do it, but the next day, what he had seen him do did not prevent him from eating or drinking with him, or mixing with him. So Allah made the hearts of those who did not commit sin like the hearts of those who did, and He revealed Qur’an concerning them and said: “Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of David and ‘Eisa, son of Maryam” until he reached: “And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them (the disbelievers) as their friends; but many of them are disobedient (to Allah).”[5:78-81] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat up and said: "No, not until they take the hand of the wrongdoer (i.e. restrain him] and force him to follow the right way."

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] 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»

"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 heard Ali saying: 'Indeed I am a man who, when I heard a Hadith from Messenger of Allah (S) then Allah causes me to benefit from it as much as He wills for me to benefit from it. When a man among his Companions narrated to me I ask him to swear an oath to me about it, and when he swears an oath to me I trust him. And Abu Bakr narrated to me - and Abu Bakr told the truth - he said: "I heard Messenger of Allah (S) saying: 'There is no man who commits a sin, then makes Wudu, then performs Salat, then seeks forgiveness from Allah, except that Allah forgives him.' Then he recited this Ayah: Those who when they have committed Fahishah or wronged themselves with eveil, remember Allah. (3:135) until the end of the Ayah."

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَجُلاً إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي بِهِ وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي صَدَّقْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَتَطَهَّرُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ (وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ ) قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَمُعَاذٍ وَوَاثِلَةَ وَأَبِي الْيَسَرِ وَاسْمُهُ كَعْبُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو

If Heard something from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Allah would benefit me thereby as He willed. Abu Bakr told me - and Abu Bakr spoke the truth - he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThere is no Muslim who commits a sin then does wudu' and prays two rak'ahs then asks Allah for forgiveness for that sin, but He will forgive him.” And he recited these two verses: ʿAnd whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving Most Mercifulʿ [an-Nisa’ 4:110] “And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins;-and none can forgive sins but Allah - and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they knowʿ [Al ‘Imran 3:135] Shu'bah said: I heard 'Uthman from the family of Abu 'Aqeel athThaqafi say--but he said. Shu'bah said: And he recited one of these two verses: ʿwhosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereofʿ [an-Nisa'4:110] or “And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse)...ʿ [Al 'Imran 3:135).

سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا نَفَعَنِي اللهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي مِنْهُ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لِذَلِكَ الذَّنْبِ إِلَّا غَفَرَ لَهُ وَقَرَأَ هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا} [النساء 110] {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ} [آل عمران 135]

"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»

"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.'

the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever says, when he goes to his bed: ‘I seek forgiveness from Allah, [the Magnificent] the One whom there is none worthy of worship except for Him, the Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to Him (Astaghfirullāha [al-ʿAẓim] alladhi lā ilāha illā huw, al-Ḥayyul-Qayyūm, wa atūbu ilaihi)’ three times, Allah shall forgive him his sins if they were like the foam of the sea, even if they were the number of leaves of the trees, even if they were the number of sand particles of ʿAlij, even if they were the number of the days of the world.”

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىَّ الْقَيُّومَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَدَدَ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَدَدَ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَدَدَ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever says, when he goes to his bed: astaghfiru Allāh alladhī lā ilah illā hūwa al-ḥayyu al-qayyūmu wa-atūbu ilayhi (I seek forgiveness from Allah, the One whom there is none worthy of worship except for Him, the Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to Him ) three times, Allah shall forgive him his sins, even if they were like the foam of the sea, even if they were the number of leaves of the trees, even if they were the number of sand particles of ʿĀlij, and even if they were the number of the leaves on a tree.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ (أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ) ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ, غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ عَدَدِ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ۔»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever says, 'Astaghfirullah al-'Azeem, alladhee la ilaha illa huwal Hayyul Qayyum, wa atubu ilayhi,' three times, his sins will be forgiven, even if he had run away from the battle."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَارًّا مِنَ الزَّحْفِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever says, 'I seek forgiveness from Allah, the One whom there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence, and I repent to Him,' three times, his sins will be forgiven even if he was fleeing from the battlefield."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا غُفِرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَارًّا مِنَ الزَّحْفِ»

"مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ الله دُبُرَ كُلِّ صلاة ثَلاثَ مَرَّات، فَقَال: أَسْتَغْفِرُ الله الذي لا إِله إِلا هُو الْحيُّ القَيَّومُ وأَتُوبُ إِلَيهِ غُفِرتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وإنْ كَانَ قَدْ فَرَّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ".

"I heard the Prophet ﷺ narrating a hadith, not just once or twice, even seven times, but I heard him saying it more than that. I heard him saying: 'There was a man called Al-Kifl among the children of Isra'il who did not restrain himself from committing sins. A woman came to him and he gave her sixty Dinar so he could sleep with her. When he sat up from her, as a man sits up from a woman, she began to tremble and cry, so he said: "Why are you crying, did I do something to harm you?" She said: "No. But it is because of what I did, I only did so out of need." He said: "You did this without having done (it before), so leave me, and it (the money) is for you." And then he said: "By Allah! I will never disobey Allah after that." He died during the night and morning came with: " Indeed Allah has forgiven Al-Kifl" written upon his door."

[Machine] Al-Kifl was among the children of Israel and was cautious about a sin he had committed. A woman came to him, and he gave her sixty dinars on the condition that he could be with her. When he sat in the position a man would with his wife, she trembled and cried. He asked, "Why are you crying? Did I force you?" She replied, "No, but this is an act I have never done, and I was only compelled to do it out of need." He said, "You are doing this, and you have never done it before? Go, the money is yours." Then he said, "By God, I will never disobey God again." He died that night, and in the morning, it was written on his door, "God has forgiven Al-Kifl."

"كَانَ الْكفْلُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَتَوَرَّع مِنْ ذَنْب عَملَه، فَأَتَتْه امْرَأةٌ فَأَعْطَاهَا ستِّينَ دينارًا عَلَى أن يَطأَهَا، فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ مِنْهَا مَقْعَدَ الرَّجُل مِنْ امْرَأتِه أَرْعَدَت وبَكَتْ، فَقَال: مَا يبكِيكِ؟ ، أكْرَهْتُكِ؟ ، قَالتْ: لَا وَلَكنَّه عَمَلٌ مَا عَمِلتُه قَطُّ، وَمَا حَمَلنِى عَلَيهِ إلا الْحَاجَةُ، فَقَال: تَفْعَلِين أنْتِ هَذَا ومَا فَعَلتِيه؟ ، اذْهبى فَهى لكِ، وَقَال: والله لا أعْصِى اللهَ بَعْدَهَا أبدًا، فمَاتَ مِنْ لَيلَتهِ فأصْبَحَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى بَابِه، إِن الله قَدْ غَفَرَ لِلْكِفْلِ".

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

“O Messenger of Allah, I heard your supplication last night, and the part of it that reached me of it, was that you said: ‘O Allah, forgive me my sin, and expand for me my abode, and bless for me that which You have provided me’ (Allāhummaghfirlī dhanbī, wa wassiʿ lī fī dārī, wa bārik lī fīmā razaqtanī). He said: ‘Do you see that they leave off anything?’”

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ دُعَاءَكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَكَانَ الَّذِي وَصَلَ إِلَىَّ مِنْهُ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَوَسِّعْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِي قَالَ فَهَلْ تَرَاهُنَّ تَرَكْنَ شَيْئًا قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَأَبُو السَّلِيلِ اسْمُهُ ضُرَيْبُ بْنُ نُفَيْرٍ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ نُقَيْرٍ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Al-'Abbas: 'On the night of Monday, come to me, you and your offspring, so that I may supplicate for them with a supplication that Allah will benefit you and your children by.' So he went, and we went with at night, so he ﷺ covered us in a Kisah (shawl), then said: 'O Allah, forgive Al-'Abbas and his offspring, for what is open and what is secret, with a forgiveness that does not leave any sins. O Allah! Take care of him concerning the affair of his offspring.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْعَبَّاسِ إِذَا كَانَ غَدَاةُ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَأْتِنِي أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ حَتَّى أَدْعُوَ لَهُمْ بِدَعْوَةٍ يَنْفَعُكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا وَوَلَدَكَ فَغَدَا وَغَدَوْنَا مَعَهُ وَأَلْبَسَنَا كِسَاءً ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْعَبَّاسِ وَوَلَدِهِ مَغْفِرَةً ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً لاَ تُغَادِرُ ذَنْبًا اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْهُ فِي وَلَدِهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

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]

Malik related to me that he heard that Abdullah ibn Masud used to say, "The slave continues to lie and a black spot grows in his heart until all his heart becomes black. Then he is written, in Allah's sight, among the liars."

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ يَكْذِبُ وَتُنْكَتُ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ حَتَّى يَسْوَدَّ قَلْبُهُ كُلُّهُ فَيُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ

“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] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4244)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ كَانَتْ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ صُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ وَإِنْ زَادَ زَادَتْ حَتَّى يَعْلُوَ قَلْبَهُ ذَاكَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14]

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When the servant ˹of Allah˺ commits a sin, a black spot appears upon his heart. If he repents, it is polished away. But if he repeats, ˹the black spot˺ increases until it grows large in his heart. That is the "rān" that Allah mentions in His Book: “Nay! But on their hearts is the rān...” [Muṭaffifīn 83:14]

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَذْنَبَ الْعَبْدُ نُكِتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ۔ فَإِنْ تَابَ صُقِلَ مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عَادَ زَادَتْ حَتَّى تَعْظُمَ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَذَلِكَ (الرَّانُ) الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ} [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] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4244)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا كَانَتْ نُكْتَةً سَوْدَاءَ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ سُقِلَ مِنْهَا قَلْبُهُ وَإِنْ زَادَ زَادَتْ حَتَّى يَعْلَقَ بِهَا قَلْبُهُ فَذَلِكَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ {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

"إذا أذنب العبدُ نُكِت في قلبه نُكتةٌ سوداءُ، فإن تاب صُقِل منها، فإن عاد زادت حتى تعظمَ في قلبِه".

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} ".
