وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفُورِ، عَنْ أَبِي نُصَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:

« عَلَيْكُمْ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَالِاسْتِغْفَارِ فَأَكْثِرُوا مِنْهُمَا ; فَإِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ: أَهْلَكْتُ النَّاسَ بِالذُّنُوبِ، فَأَهْلَكُونِي بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَالِاسْتِغْفَارِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ أَهْلَكْتُهُمْ بِالْأَهْوَاءِ وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ

✧ “Adhere to ‘there is no god but Allah’ and seeking forgiveness, and do them abundantly. For Iblis said: ‘I destroyed people with sins, but they destroyed me with “there is no god but Allah” and seeking forgiveness. When I saw that, I destroyed them with caprices, while they think they are rightly guided.’”
