أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ إِذَا
سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا نَفَعَنِي اللهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي صَدَّقْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَتَطَهَّرُ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْآيَةَ {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمُ} [آل عمران 135] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ

✧ I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith by which Allah benefited me as much as He willed. When a man among his companions narrated to me, I would make him swear an oath, and when he swore to me, I believed him. Abu Bakr narrated to me — and Abu Bakr spoke the truth — saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “There is no believing man who commits a sin, then stands and purifies himself, perfecting his purification, then asks Allah’s forgiveness, except that Allah forgives him.” Then he recited the verse: {And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves...} [Al ‘Imran 135] to the end of the verse.
