حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفِيفُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو نُصَيْرَةَ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ، فَلَمْ يُصِرَّ، وَإِنْ عَادَ فِي الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً

وهذا الحديث لا نحفظه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من وجه من الوجوه إلا عن أبي بكر بهذا الطريق وعثمان بن واقد مشهور حدث عنه أبو معاوية وأبو يحيى الحماني وغيرهما وأبو نصيرة ومولى أبي بكر فلا يعرفان ولكن لما كان هذا الحديث لا يعرف إلا من هذا الوجه لم نجد بدا من كتابته وتبيين علته
machine translationWe do not know this hadith from the Prophet ﷺ by any route other than this one, from Abū Bakr. ʿUthmān b. Wāqid is well known; Abū Muʿāwiyah, Abū Yaḥyā al-Ḥimmānī and others narrated from him. As for Abū Nuṣayrah and the freed slave of Abū Bakr, they are not known. But since this hadith is not known except through this route, we found no alternative but to write it down and make clear its defect.
