Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever commits a sin and knows (that is, firmly believes) that if Allah Almighty wishes to punish him, He will punish him, and if He wishes to forgive him, He will forgive him, then it is binding upon Allah Almighty to forgive that person."
At-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Jabir bin Marzuq al-Juddi, who is da'if (weak).
