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.”

The above narration is also transmitted with another chain. (
Imam Humaydi, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narration that Abdul Karim has narrated to us is more beloved to us, although compared to the narrator named Abu Sa’d, he is a greater memorizer.
