Sahih al-Bukhari 4810 (Book 65, Hadith 332) #4593
The Mercy of Allah

SUMMARY: Allah's mercy is available to those who repent and turn away from their sins.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Some pagans who committed murders in great number and committed illegal sexual intercourse excessively, came to Muhammad and said, "O Muhammad! Whatever you say and invite people to, is good: but we wish if you could inform us whether we can make an expiration for our (past evil) deeds". So the Divine Verses came: 'Those who invoke not with Allah any other god, not kill such life as Allah has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse'. (25:68) And there was also revealed:-- 'Say: O My slaves who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah'. (39:53)
حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ يَعْلَى إِنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ نَاسًا، مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ كَانُوا قَدْ قَتَلُوا وَأَكْثَرُوا وَزَنَوْا وَأَكْثَرُوا، فَأَتَوْا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ الَّذِي تَقُولُ وَتَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ لَحَسَنٌ لَوْ تُخْبِرُنَا أَنَّ لِمَا عَمِلْنَا كَفَّارَةً‏.‏ فَنَزَلَ ‏{‏وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلاَ يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَلاَ يَزْنُونَ‏}‏ وَنَزَلَ ‏{‏قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لاَ تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mercy of Allah and how it is available to those who repent and turn away from their sins. It was narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The pagans asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if they could make an expiration for their past evil deeds, and in response, two verses were revealed in the Quran. The first verse states that one should not associate any other god with Allah nor kill any life which has been forbidden by Him except for just cause or commit illegal sexual intercourse. The second verse tells us not to despair of the mercy of Allah no matter how much we have transgressed against our souls. This hadith teaches us that no matter what wrong we have done, if we sincerely repent and turn away from our sins then there is always hope for forgiveness from Allah as His mercy is infinite.
