Forgiveness for Sins
Translated
By
Abbas Abu Yahya
From Zayed bin Hartha the freed-slave of the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, that whoever said:
” أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ، وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ “
‘Whoever says, I seek forgiveness from Allaah, other than whom there is none worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists and I repent to Him’.
Then Allaah forgives him even if he had run away from the battle field.’
Astaghfirullaah allathi la ilaha illa Huwa al-Hayyu al-Qayyum wa atoobu ilayhi
[Collected by Tirmidhi no.3577, al-Hakim declared Saheeh by Albaani in Silsilah as-Saheehah no.2727]
عن زيد بن حارثة مولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من قال:
أستغفرُ اللهَ الذي لا إلهَ إلّا هو الحيَّ القيومَ وأتوبُ إليه غُفِرَ له وإنْ كان فرَّ من الزحفِ.
