Someone committed a sin and then said: “O Allah! Forgive me my sin.” Allah said: “My servant committed a sin, but knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes sins.” Then he committed the sin again and said: “My Lord! Forgive me my sin.” Allah said: “My servant committed a sin, but knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes sins.” Then he committed the sin again and said: “My Lord! Forgive me my sin.” Allah said: “My servant committed a sin, but knew that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes sins. Do as you will, for I have forgiven you.”
[Sahīh al-Bukhārī (7507) and Sahīh Muslim (2758)]
