Musnad Abi Ya'la 4661 — she related: It was my night (in turn)

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she related: "It was my night (in turn) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) slipped away quietly (from the bed). I thought that perhaps he (peace and blessings be upon him) had gone to one of his other wives, so I went out moved by jealousy, and I found him (peace and blessings be upon him) in prostration, lying like a garment spread out. I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Sajada laka sawadi wa khayali, wa amana bika fu'adi. Rabbi hadhihi yadi wa ma janaytu 'ala nafsi, ya 'Azimu turja li-kulli 'azimin, faghfir al-dhanb al-'azim' (My being and my imagination have prostrated to You, and my heart has believed in You. O my Lord, here is my hand and all the sins I have committed against myself. O Magnificent One, from whom hope is placed in every great matter, forgive my great sin)." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and asked: "What made you go out (of the house)?" She said: A thought that occurred to me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, some suspicion is a sin; and seek forgiveness from Allah. Indeed, Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me and ordered me to say these words which you have just heard, so you too should say them in your prostration, for whoever says these words does not raise his head (from prostration) without being forgiven." The narrator thinks that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is forgiven."
