1521. Asmā' bin Al-Hakam Al-Fazārī narrated that 'Ali bin Abī Tālib said: "I was a person who, when I heard a Hadīth from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, would benefit from it as much as Allāh willed, and when I heard it from one of his Companions, I would ask him to swear (that it was true), so if he swore, I would believe him. And Abū Bakr narrated to me — and Abū Bakr told the truth — that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'There is no servant who commits a sin, then performs Wudū' perfectly, and stand and prays two Rak'ahs, and then seeks forgiveness from Allāh, except that Allāh forgives him.' Then he recited this Verse: 'And those who, when they commit a sin, or wrong themselves, remember Allāh...' to the end of the Verse.”[1] (Hasan)

1521 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ الْفَزَارِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ: كُنْتُ رَجُلًا إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي، وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ، فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي صَدَّقْتُهُ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا، فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ} [آل عمران: 135] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
