(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ
عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ
أَسْمَاءَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ الْفَزَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عَلِيًّا كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا ، نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي مِنْهُ ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي غَيْرُهُ ، اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ ، فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي ، صَدَّقْتُهُ ، وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَصَدَقَ
أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا فَيَتَوَضَّأُ ، فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَيَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ، إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ تَلَا : وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ سورة آل عمران آية 135 .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah honor his face and be pleased with him) says that whenever I heard a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah, as He willed, made me benefit from it.

When he swore that he had heard this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), only then would I accept his statement as true. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to me, and he is truthful in narrating this hadith, that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever commits a sin, then performs ablution and does it well, then prays two rak‘ahs of prayer and seeks forgiveness from Allah for his sin, Allah will surely forgive his sin. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: «وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ . . . » [3-آل عمران:135] "And those who, when they commit a sin or wrong themselves . . . ."
