202. It was narrated from Abu Dardâ' that the Prophet ﷺ said concerning the Verse: "Every day He is (engaged) in some affair."[1] "His affairs include forgiving sins, relieving distress, raising some people and bringing others low." (Hasan)
202 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَزِيرُ بْنُ صَبِيحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَلْبَسٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ} [الرحمن: 29] ، قَالَ: «مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ ذَنْبًا، وَيُفَرِّجَ كَرْبًا، وَيَرْفَعَ قَوْمًا، وَيَخْفِضَ آخَرِينَ»

The Hadith confirms Allâh's attribute of action manifested at all times without break. Forgiving sins is also one such matter in which there is absolutely no intermediary between man and God. Some misguided souls think that, even in this, an intermediary is an imperative necessity. Christians believe that forgiving the sins is within the domain of their popes and priests. Hindus consider it impossible to approach God without the mediation of the Brahmins, and it is only through them that they can have their sins forgiven. The Qur'an, on the other hand, asks in the form of a rhetorical question: "And who can forgive sins except Allâh?" (3:135), i.e., no one has the power to do it.
