عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ
From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ
I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say:
قَالَ ٱللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ وَلَا أُبَالِي
Allah, the Exalted, said: "O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.
يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُكَ عَنَانَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ
O son of Adam! If your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you.
يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَتَيْتَنِي بِقُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتَنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَأَتَيْتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً
O son of Adam! Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, not associating anything with Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
