عن عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَجُلًا إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا نَفَعَنِي اللهُ مِنْهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي بِهِ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ، فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي صَدَّقْتُهُ، وَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَتَطَهَّرُ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ، إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ} [آل عمران: 135].
Kutoka kwa Ally amesema: Hakika mimi nilikuwa ni mtu kila nikisikia kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- hadithi Mwenyezi Mungu ananinufaisha kwa hadithi hiyo kwa kiasi alichotaka kuninufaisha, na akinihadithia yeyote katika Masahaba zake ninamuapisha, akiniapia ninamuamini, na siku moja alinihadithia Abubakari, na Abubakari akasema ukweli, akasema: Nilimsikia Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- akisema: "Hakuna mtu yeyote atakayetenda dhambi, kisha akasimama akajitwaharisha, kisha akaswali, kisha akamuomba Allah msamaha, isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu humsamehe", Kisha akasoma aya hii: "Na wale ambao wakifanya machafu au wakizidhulumu nafsi zao humkumbuka Mwenyezi Mungu wakaomba msamaha kutokana na madhambi yao" [Al-Imran: 135].
‘Ali reported: Indeed I am a man who, when hearing a Hadīth from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), Allah benefitted me thereby as much as He willed for me to benefit thereby. When a man from his Companions narrates some Hadīth to me, I ask him to swear upon it, when he swears, I believe him. And Abu Bakr narrated to me - and Abu Bakr told the truth; he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There is no man who commits a sin, then gets up and performs Tahārah (ritual purification), then performs prayer, then seeks forgiveness from Allah, except that Allah forgives him." Then, he recited this verse: {And those who, when they commit a shameful act or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins.} [Surat Āl ‘Imrān: 135]
Himizo la kuswali kisha kuomba msamaha baada ya kutenda dhambi.
Upana wa msamaha wa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu na kukubali kwake toba na msamaha.
