عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَلَا أُبَالِي يَا ابنَ آدمَ إِنَّك لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ وَلَا أُبَالِي يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ لَوْ لَقِيتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتَنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَأَتَيْتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مغْفرَة ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَرَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيّ: هَذَا حَدِيث حسن غَرِيب
Anas reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: God Most High says: ‘Son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you for what you have done, and I do not mind. Son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you asked My forgiveness, I would forgive you, and I do not mind. Son of Adam, if you came to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, then met Me without associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it and said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith.’ Ahmad and al-Darimi transmitted it from Abu Dharr. The Arabic source records ‘not studied’ twice (al-Albani).
