حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي نُصَيْرَةَ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَصَرَّ مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ وَلَوْ فَعَلَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا غَرِيبٌ ، إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي نُصَيْرَةَ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ .
´Abu Bakr narrated:` That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “He who seeks forgiveness has not been persistent in sin, even if he does it seventy times in a day.”

1514. English Commentary:
➊ The meaning of istighfar is to seek forgiveness from Allah for one’s sins; that He may cover them with His mercy and not disgrace the servant.
➋ To persist and insist upon one’s sins is the habit of the wrongdoers and sinners. [يَسْمَعُ آيَاتِ اللَّـهِ تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ]
[الجاثیة۔8]
He listens to the verses of Allah which are recited to him, yet he persists (in his sins), acting arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him glad tidings of a painful punishment. Whereas the attribute of a God-fearing (muttaqi) person is the opposite of this. [وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ]
[آل عمران۔135]
The God-fearing do not persist in what they have done, and they know.
