Bahz told us: Hammad told us: Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah told us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi 'Amrah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, narrating from his Lord: "My servant committed a sin and said, 'O Lord, forgive me my sin.' He, Blessed and Exalted, said: 'My servant has committed a sin and known that he has a Lord who forgives sin and holds one to account for sin'" — three times — "then He says: 'Do as you wish, I have forgiven you.'"
