The Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] and the Sinner

[Niqaabis]

Once a man came into the Mosque of the prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] lamenting over his sins. The man was so overcome and saddened by his state that the Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] said to him, “Say this:

اللهم مغفرتك أوسع من ذنوبي ورحمتك أرجى عندي من عملي

Allahuma maghfiratoka awsaa’ min thonoobi
Wa rahmatoka arja ‘andey min ‘amaley

"Oh Allah, your forgiveness is greater than my sins and my hope in Your mercy is greater to me than my actions”

The man said this and the Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] said to him, “Say it again.” The man repeated it then the Prophet said to him, “Say it again.” The man did it and the Prophet
[صلى الله عليه وسلم] said to him, “Arise for, indeed, Allah has forgiven you.”*

*This incident was related by al-Hakim with a sound chain that he considered to match the standards of Imam Muslim.

Allahu Akbar! Jazak ALlahu khair sis.When we commit sins, but even after we repent,we r haunted by their memories. They spoil our simple pleasures and the quiet of our nights

['Abd al-Kareem]

Allahu Akbar! What a short, wonderful phrase to memorize.
Baarak Allahu feek.

In Arabic:
جاء رجل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال واذنوباه واذنوباه فقال هذا القول مرتين أو ثلاثا فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قل اللهم مغفرتك أوسع من ذنوبي ورحمتك أرجى عندي من عملي فقالها ثم قال عد فعاد ثم قالعد فعاد ثم قال قم فقد غفر الله لك
