Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"Allah, the Exalted, and
Glorious said: `A slave committed a sin and he said: O Allah, forgive my sin,' and Allah said: `My slave committed
a sin and then he realized that he has a Rubb Who forgives the sins and punishes for the sin.' He then again
committed a sin and said: `My Rubb, forgive my sin,' and Allah (SWT) said: `My slave committed a sin and then
realized that he has a Rubb Who forgives his sin and punishes for the sin.' He again committed a sin and said: `My
Rubb, forgive my sin,' and Allah (SWT) said: `My slave has committed a sin and then realized that he has a Rubb
Who forgives the sin or takes (him) to account for sin. I have granted forgiveness to my slave. Let him do whatever
he likes".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The last sentence "let him do..". means, as long he keeps asking for forgiveness after the commission of sins, and
repents, Allah will forgive him because repentance eliminates previous sins". (Editor's Note)
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that so long as the heart of a Muslim remains free from willful disobedience of
Divine injunctions and he does not deliberately neglect his religious duties, that is to say he goes on committing sins
and each time wholeheartedly begs pardon for them, Almighty, Allah will forgive him. The reason being that he is
penitent for his wrongs and does not insist upon them for fear of accountability. This condition of his shows that his
heart is full of awe and Majesty of Allah and he does not feel any disgrace in showing his utter humbleness before
Him. Now this is a merit of the sinful which is pleasing to Allah. Thus, He says that so long as his slave continues
submission and prostration He will go on forgiving him.
On the contrary, there is a person who goes on committing sins but he neither repents for them nor seeks pardon for
his wrongs; nor has any fear of accountability. Obviously, he is altogether different from the kind of Muslims
mentioned before, and he will be therefore treated differently by Allah. The conduct of the former is of a Muslim
who, in spite of his sins, is liked by Allah while the second is of that of a rebel for whom He has kept severe
punishment ready. May Allah rank us among the former category of people.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"By the One in
Whose Hand my soul is, were you not to commit sins, Allah would replace you with a people who would commit
sins and then seek forgiveness from Allah; and Allah would forgive them".
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith also tells us that Allah has a profound liking for such people who are penitent and seek
pardon for their sins from Him. So much so that if such people cease to exist who neither commit sins nor seek
pardon from Him, He will create people who will do so. It does not, however, mean that He likes sins or the sinful
persons. What it really means is that He likes penitence and the penitents. This is the true purport of this Hadith.
It also means that it is natural for man to commit sins, and that Allah loves whenever a slave commits a sin to rush
and beg for His forgiveness. (Editor's Note).
