أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا
مَهْدِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا
غَيْلَانُ، عَنْ
شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ
مَعْدِي كَرِبَ، عَنْ
أَبِي ذَرٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ , قَالَ: "يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ
مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي، غَفَرْتُ لَكَ مَا كَانَ فِيكَ . ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَلْقَانِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا، لَقِيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكَ بِي شَيْئًا، ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ تُذْنِبْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ ذَنْبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ تَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرْ لَكَ وَلَا أُبَالِي".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrating from his Lord, said: "Allah Almighty said: O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and have hope in Me, I will forgive you for what you have done before. O son of Adam! If you come to Me with sins as much as the earth, I will meet you with forgiveness as great as the earth, provided you do not associate anything with Me. O son of Adam! If your sins reach up to the height of the sky and then you seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you, and I will not mind."
