Abdullah bin Ma’qil narrates: I was present with my father in the company of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), so my father said to him: Have you heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Regret is repentance”? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Yes, I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Regret is repentance.”
