وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ:” سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: “قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتنِي وَرَجَوْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْك وَلَا أُبَالِي، يَا أبن آدَمَ، لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُك عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك ، يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، إنَّك لَوْ أتيتنى بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا، ثُمَّ لَقِيتنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ به شَيْئًا، لَأَتَيْتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مغْفرَة" ((رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ. وَقَالَ حَدِيث حَسَن)).
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: 'O son of adam, I forgive you as long as you pray to Me and hope for My forgiveness, whatever sins you have committed. O son of 'Adam, I do not care if your sins reach the height of the heaven, then you ask for my forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of 'Adam, if you come to Me with an earth load of sins, and meet Me associating nothing to Me, I would match it with an earthload of forgiveness."' [At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan].
