Sunan Ibn Majah 1386 (Book 5, Hadith 584) #30738
The Power of Prayer & Repentance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised his uncle to pray four Rakah and recite the Opening of the Book (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah in each Rakah. He also instructed him to say Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar fifteen times before bowing in Ruku, ten times when raising his head from Ruku, ten times when prostrating, and ten times when raising his head from prostration. Doing this will result in forgiveness of sins even if they are like grains of sand.

It was narrated that Abu Rafi’ said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Abbas: 'O uncle, shall I not give you a gift, shall I not benefit you, shall I not uphold my ties of kinship with you?’ He said: 'Of course, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: 'Pray four Rak’ah, and recite in each Rak’ah the Opening of the Book (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah. When you have finished reciting, say: Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar (Glory is to Allah, praise is to Allah, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Allah is the Most Great) fifteen times before you bow in Ruku’. Then bow and say it ten times; then raise your head and say it ten times; then prostrate and say it ten times; then raise your head and say it ten times; then prostrate and say it ten times; then raise your head and say it ten times before you stand up. That will be seventy-five times in each Rak’ah and three hundred times in the four Rak’ah, and even if your sins are like the grains of sand, Allah will forgive you for them.’ He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if someone cannot say it in one day?’ He said: 'Then say it once in a week; if you cannot, then say it once in a month’ until he said: 'Once in a year.’"

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of prayer and repentance. It was narrated by Abu Rafi that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised his uncle to pray four Rakahs with recitation of Al-Fatihah and a Surah in each one. He also instructed him to say Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar fifteen times before bowing in Ruku, ten times when raising his head from Ruku, ten times when prostrating, and ten times when raising his head from prostration. Doing this will result in forgiveness for sins even if they are like grains of sand.

Additionally, it reminds us that no matter how many sins we have committed or how big they may be, Allah SWT is always willing to forgive us if we sincerely repent for them through prayer or other acts such as charity or good deeds towards others.
