4252 - هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ» ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي: أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ» ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ "

Commentary

Regretting and feeling sad is an integral part of a true repentance. Seeking a higher chain of narration is desirable. Having a discussion with a teacher to clarify doubts is not contrary to his respect.
