With the same chain, from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), from Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him), this saying of his Lord is narrated:
"O My servant! As long as you keep calling upon Me and placing your hope in Me, and you do not associate anyone with Me as a partner, I will forgive you everything that is in you (that is, whatever sins you have committed)."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Before this, the hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) has passed, in which these words occur:
"O My servants! All of you were astray, except the one whom I guided."
It has passed in the Book of Supplications, in the chapter on the power of Allah Almighty and that the servant is in need of Allah Almighty in every matter.
