‘Abdullah ibn Abi Ziyad al-Kufi narrated to us; ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr al-Sahmi narrated to us, from Hatim ibn Abi Saghirah, from Abu Balj, from ‘Amr ibn Maymun, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘There is no one on earth who says, “There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might or power except through Allah,” but his sins will be expiated, even if they were like the foam of the sea.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith. Shu‘bah narrated a similar report from Abu Balj with this chain, but did not attribute it to the Prophet. Abu Balj’s name is Yahya ibn Abi Sulaym; it is also said to be Yahya ibn Sulaym.’ Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Ibn Abi ‘Adi narrated to us, from Hatim ibn Abi Saghirah, from Abu Balj, from ‘Amr ibn Maymun, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), similarly. Hatim was kunya’d Abu Yunus al-Qushayri. Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Ja‘far narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, from Abu Balj, similarly, without attributing it to the Prophet.’’
