Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Allah Almighty is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than that person who, upon waking up, finds his camel which he had lost in a barren, waterless land."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah is more pleased with the repentance of any one of you than that person who is in a deserted, desolate place that brings about destruction. He has his mount with him, upon which are his provisions, his food, and his necessities. Then that person loses his mount. He searches for it until he is overtaken by death, so he thinks, ‘I will return to my place and die there.’ So he returns to the place where he lost his mount, and while in that state, he falls asleep. Then when he wakes up, his mount is present by his head, upon which are his provisions and belongings. Allah is more pleased with the repentance of any one of you than that person is (upon finding his lost mount).”

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah Almighty said: "O My servants! I have made oppression unlawful for Myself and I have made it unlawful among you as well, so do not oppress one another. O My servants! Indeed, you commit sins by day and by night, and I am the One who forgives sins, and I do not mind."
After this, the narrator mentioned a lengthy hadith, at the end of which he stated this point. Whenever the narrator named Abu Idris would narrate this hadith, he would kneel down on his knees.

Ata narrates: I and Ubaid bin Umair entered in the service of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), so Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Ubaid bin Umair: Now you have found the opportunity to come to us. He replied: Mother, I will say as someone from the people before said: Meet with intervals, love increases. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Do not say such flattering words to us. Ibn Umair said: Please tell us about the most astonishing thing you saw regarding the Prophet (peace be upon him). The narrator says: Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) became silent, then she said: Once, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said at night: O Aisha! Allow me so that I may worship my Lord tonight. I said: By Allah! I love your company and I also love what pleases you. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace be upon him) stood up, performed ablution well, then stood up and began to offer voluntary prayers. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace be upon him) began to weep, until the hollow of his eye became wet. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Then he wept and continued to weep until his beard became wet. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Then he continued to weep, and wept for so long that the ground became wet. Then Bilal came and called him for the (Fajr) prayer. When he saw him weeping, he said: O Messenger of Allah! Why are you weeping, when Allah Almighty has forgiven your past and future (sins)? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Should I not be a grateful servant? Tonight a verse has been revealed to me. Woe to the one who recites it and does not ponder over it. (That verse is:) "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth..." This is the complete verse.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The people mentioned happiness in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then they mentioned a lost thing which a person finds. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of any one of you than a person who finds his lost thing in a barren land."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“A man committed a sin, then he said: O my Lord! I have committed a sin. (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) I have done a deed, so forgive me. Allah Almighty said: My servant has committed a sin, he knows that he has a Lord who can forgive sins and can also punish for them, so I have forgiven My servant. Then that person committed another sin. (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) He committed another sin, so he said: O my Lord! I have committed a sin, so forgive me. Allah Almighty said: This My servant knows that he has a Lord who can forgive sins and can also punish for them, so I have forgiven My servant. Then that person again committed that sin. (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) He committed some other sin, then he said: O my Lord! I have committed a sin, so forgive me. Allah Almighty said: My servant knows that he has a Lord who can forgive sins and can also punish for them. O angels! I make you witnesses that I have forgiven My servant, now let him do whatever he wishes.”

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whenever I heard something from the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Allah the Exalted would grant me benefit through it as He willed, until Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a hadith to me. Whenever any of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrated a hadith to me regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I would make him swear an oath, and if he took the oath, I would accept his statement as true. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a hadith to me, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke the truth. He informed me: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever commits a sin, then performs ablution and offers two units of prayer, and then seeks forgiveness from Allah the Exalted for that sin, Allah the Exalted grants him forgiveness."

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: O Aisha! If you intended to commit a sin, then seek forgiveness from Allah and repent, because when a servant commits a sin and then seeks forgiveness from Allah, Allah forgives him.

Wail has mentioned only three narrations on the authority of his son. This has been stated by the Sheikh.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his Lord’s statement:“My servant commits a sin, then he says: O my Lord! I have committed a sin. So Allah Almighty says: My servant has committed a sin and he knows that Allah can forgive sins and can also hold accountable for sins. Then that servant commits a sin again and says: O my Lord! I have committed a sin. So Allah Almighty says: My servant has committed a sin and he knows that Allah can forgive sins and can also hold accountable for sins. (O My servant!) Do whatever you wish, I have forgiven you.”(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):“Do whatever you wish.”These are words of warning, behind which is a promise. And by the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement:“Do whatever you wish,”what is meant is: Do not disobey. And by the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) words:“I have forgiven you,”what is meant is, when you repent.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, Allah Almighty continues to forgive His servant until the barrier occurs." It was asked: "What is meant by the occurrence of the barrier?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is that a person dies in such a state that he is a polytheist."
