642. ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Muʾammal narrated to us; Sufyān narrated to us, from Jaʿfar ibn Burqān, from Yazīd ibn al-Aṣamm, who said:

ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb once heard a man saying, “Astaghfiru Allah wa atūbu ilayh (I seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to Him).” ʿUmar replied, “Wayḥaka! Atbiʿ-hā ukhtahā: faghfir lī wa tub ʿalayya (Woe to you—add its sister: forgive me and accept my repentance).”
