۞
11.Ṣafwān ibn Yaḥyā narrated from al-Ḥarth ibn al-Mughīrah, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said
“Verily Allah loves the one who admits [his sins] and repents often.” He [then] said, “The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) used to turn to Allah in repentance seventy times a day without having committed any sin.” The narrator asked, “Would he say: I seek forgiveness from Allah and turn back to Him in repentance?” He (a) replied, “He would say: I turn [penitently] to Allah.”
صفوان بن يحيى عن الحرث بن المغيرة عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
إن الله يحب المقر التواب قال: وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يتوب إلى الله في كل يوم سبعين مرة من غير ذنب قلت: يقول: استغفر الله وأتوب إليه؟ قال: كان يقول: أتوب إلى الله.
