Hadith 117

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَلْقَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي قَلْبِيَ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُبَايِعَنِي فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ: لَا أُبَايِعُكَ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِي، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((يَا عَمْرُو! أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ تَجُبُّ مَا قَبْلَهَا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ، يَا عَمْرُو! أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَجُبُّ مَا قَبْلَهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When Allah Almighty put the thought of Islam into my heart, I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) extended his hand towards me, but at that moment I said: "I will not pledge allegiance to you until my previous sins are forgiven." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Amr! Do you not know that migration wipes out previous sins? Amr! Do you not know that Islam also erases previous sins?"

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The command of Allah, the Exalted, is: {قُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ کَفَرُوْا اِنْ یَّنْتَھُوْا یُغْفَرْ لَھُمْ مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ} … Say to the disbelievers that if they desist, then all their previous sins will be forgiven. (Surah Al-Anfal: 38)

It is understood from this that due to Islam and migration (hijrah), previous sins are forgiven. Further details are forthcoming.
