وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم يقْرَأ: (يَا عبَادي الَّذِي أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا) وَلَا يُبَالِي رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَفِي شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ يَقُولُ: بَدَلَ: يقْرَأ
Asma’ bint Yazid reported: I heard the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) recite: ‘O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God’s mercy. God forgives all sins’—and He does not mind. Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi transmitted it. Al-Tirmidhi said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith.’ In Sharh al-Sunnah, the wording is ‘He says’ instead of ‘He recites.’ The Arabic source marks it as not studied by al-Albani.
