Sunan an-Nasai 4003 (Book 37, Hadith 38) #18536
Repentance for Sins

SUMMARY: People who have committed sins can repent and Allah will forgive them and turn their sins into good deeds.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that : Some people used to kill, and they did a great deal of it, and they used to commit adultery and they did a great deal of it, and they committed violations. They came to the Prophet SAW and said: "O Muhammad, what you say and call people to is good, if only you could tell us that there is any expiation for what we have done". Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah up to for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds," he said: "So Allah will change their Shirk into faith, and their adultery into chastity. And the Verse: "Say: O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)" was revealed.
أَخْبَرَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَنْبِجِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ قَوْمًا، كَانُوا قَتَلُوا فَأَكْثَرُوا وَزَنَوْا فَأَكْثَرُوا وَانْتَهَكُوا فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ قَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ الَّذِي تَقُولُ وَتَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ لَحَسَنٌ لَوْ تُخْبِرُنَا أَنَّ لِمَا عَمِلْنَا كَفَّارَةً ‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ ‏}‏ إِلَى ‏{‏ فَأُولَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ‏}‏ قَالَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ شِرْكَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَزِنَاهُمْ إِحْصَانًا وَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏ قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ ‏}‏ الآيَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of repentance and forgiveness. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that some people used to commit a lot of sins such as killing, adultery, and other violations. They asked the Prophet Muhammad if there was any way to expiate for what they had done. In response, Allah revealed a verse in the Quran which states that those who invoke no other god besides Him will have their sins changed into good deeds. The verse also says that those who have transgressed against themselves should seek forgiveness from Allah. This hadith teaches us that even if we make mistakes or sin, we can still ask for forgiveness from Allah and He will forgive us and turn our bad deeds into good ones. We should always strive to do our best to stay away from sinning but if we do make mistakes, we should not despair because with sincere repentance comes great reward in the form of God's mercy and forgiveness.
