عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَمْ أَعْفُو عَنِ الْخَادِمِ ؟ فَصَمَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَمْ أَعْفُو عَنِ الْخَادِمِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ نَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ هُوَ ابْنُ جُلَيْدٍ الْحَجْرِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ ، وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَقَالَ : عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو .
´'Abdullah bin 'Umar narrated:` "A man came to the Prophet and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How many times should the servant be pardoned?' The Prophet was silent. Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How many times should the servant be pardoned?' He said: ' Seventy times each day.'"
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُاللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ، وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ، وَقَالَ: عَنْ عَبْدِاللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو.
A similar hadith is also narrated from Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) through this chain. And some people have narrated this hadith from Abdullah bin Wahb through the same chain, but in the chain, instead of Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), the name of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) is mentioned.

Al-Mizzi has attributed the narration in Abu Dawud to Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As,
and the narration in Tirmidhi to Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab.)

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Repentance (tawbah) and seeking forgiveness (istighfar) are great acts of virtue.
➋ The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was free from sins, yet he would frequently seek forgiveness, because istighfar is also a means of expressing servitude (‘ubudiyyah), which is greatly beloved to Allah.
➌ Instead of engaging in idle talk, backbiting, and sins in gatherings, it is better to remember Allah and seek forgiveness, so that instead of an increase in sins, one attains pardon and mercy.
