So if he were to say, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah -azwj Who, there is no god except for him -azwj , the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty, the Wise, the Forgiving, the Merciful, One with Majesty and the Benevolence, and I repent to Him -azwj ’, nothing would be Written against him; and if seven hours have passed and he has not followed it up with a good deed and the seeking of Forgiveness, the companion of the good deeds says to the companion of the evil deeds: ‘Write against the wretch, the deprived one’.
[7] أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا غَفَرَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah -azwj Who, there is no god except for Him -azwj , the Living, the Eternal, Initiator of the skies and the earth, One with the Majesty and the Benevolence, and I ask Him ‑azwj that He -azwj Sends Blessings upon Muhammad -saww and the Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww , and that He -azwj should Turned to me (with Mercy)’, لَهُ وَ لَا خَيْرَ فِيمَنْ يُقَارِفُ فِي يَوْمٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ كَبِيرَةً Except that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would Forgive these for him; and there is no good in the one who commits during a day more than forty major sins’.
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa,, from Abdul Samad, from Al Husayn Bin Hammad, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘The one who says at the end of the Obligatory Sal ā t , before he bends his legs, اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ‘Allah -azwj is Who, there is no God except Him -azwj .
He -azwj is the Living, the Everlasting, with Majesty and the Benevolence, and I repent to Him -azwj ’, three times . غَفَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would Forgive his sins for him, and even if they were the likes of the foam of the sea (numerous)’.
