Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu‘Umayr from Ali al- Ahmasi from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘By Allah no one escapes sins except those who confess it.’ The narrator has said that abu Ja’far (a.s.) then said, ‘Repenting is enough proof of one’s being regretful.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (1/282))
