Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 17624M

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، - أَوْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ - لَوْ أَخْطَأْتُمْ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ خَطَايَاكُمْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتُمُ اللَّهَ لَغَفَرَ لَكُمْ . وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ - أَوْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ - لَوْ لَمْ تُخْطِئُوا ; لَجَاءَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - بِقَوْمٍ يُخْطِئُونَ ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, or by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), if you were to commit so many errors (sins) that your errors filled the space between the heavens and the earth, and then you sought forgiveness from Allah, He would certainly forgive you. And by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), or by the One in whose hand is my soul, if no sins were committed by you, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, would bring into being a people who would sin, then seek forgiveness (from Allah), and Allah would forgive them."
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la (may Allah have mercy on them both) recorded it, and all its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
