Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 28161a
"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: إِنِّى لأَسْتَحِى مِنْ عَبْدِى وَأَمَتِى يَشِيبَانِ في الإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ أُعَذِّبُهُمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَلأَنَا أَعْظَمُ غَفْرًا مِنْ أَنْ أَسْتُرَ عَلَى عَبْدِى ثُمَّ أَفْضَحَهُ، وَلَا أَزَالُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لِعَبْدِى مَا اسْتَغْفَرَنِى".

"Allah -Exalted is He- says: Indeed I am shy before My male servant and My female servant who grow old in Islam, and then I punish them after that. Yet I am greater in forgiveness than to conceal [a sin] for My servant and then expose him. I do not cease to forgive My servant as long as he seeks My forgiveness."
