149 – Ibrāhīm b. Saʿīd related to me; Mūsā b. Ismāʿīl narrated to us; Sālim Abū Ghiyāth al-ʿAtakī said: I heard Bakr b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Muzanī say:

“The deeds of the children of Adam are taken up. When a scroll is taken up that contains istighfār (seeking forgiveness), it is raised white; but when a scroll is taken up in which there is no istighfār, it is raised black.”
