Al-Tawba - Ibn Abi al-Dunya - (47)

21 – Yaqūb ibn ʿUbayd narrated to me; Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us; al-ʿAwwām ibn Hawshab informed us; ʿAbd al-Karīm al-Muktib narrated to me, from ʿAbd ⦗48⦘ al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd ibn Muʿāwiyah, who said:

The words which Adam received from his Lord and through which He accepted his repentance were:

“There is no god but You. Glory be to You, O Allah, and to You belongs all praise. O Allah, I have done evil and wronged myself, so forgive me, for You are the best of those who forgive.

There is no god but You; glory be to You and praise be to You. I have done evil and wronged myself, so have mercy on me, for You are the most merciful of the merciful.

There is no god but You; glory be to You and praise be to You. I have done evil and wronged myself, so accept my repentance; indeed, You are the Ever-Relenting, the Merciful.”

٢١ - حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ الْمُكْتِبُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ ⦗٤٨⦘ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: الْكَلِمَاتُ الَّتِي تَلَقَّى آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ عَمِلْتُ سُوءًا وَظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءًا، وَظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْنِي وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءًا، وَظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ "
