Musnad Ahmad 2 (Book 1, Hadith 2) #33700
The Power of Repentance

SUMMARY: Allah will forgive those who sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness.

It was narrated that 'Ali said: If I heard a hadeeth from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Allah benefitted me as He willed thereby. If someone else told me something from him I would ask him to swear, and if he swore I would believe him. Abu Bakr told me - and Abu Bakr told the truth - that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'There is no man who commits a sin, then does wudoo' and does it well - Mis'ar said: and prays; Sufyan said: then prays - two rak'ahs and asks Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, for forgiveness but He will forgive him'.
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، وَسُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْوَالِبِيِّ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ بِمَا شَاءَ مِنْهُ وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي عَنْهُ غَيْرِي اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ لِي صَدَّقْتُهُ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَنِي وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا فَيَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ وَيُصَلِّي وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا غَفَرَ لَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the power of repentance and prayer in seeking forgiveness from Allah. It was narrated by Ali that if he heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah, it would benefit him as He willed. If someone else told him something from the Prophet, he would ask them to swear before believing them. Abu Bakr then told him that he heard the Prophet say that if a person commits a sin and does wudoo well and prays two rak'ahs while asking for forgiveness sincerely, then Allah will forgive them. This hadith teaches us that no matter how bad our sins are or how many times we have committed them, we can always turn back to Allah in sincere repentance and He will forgive us if we do so with sincerity. We should also remember to pray regularly as this is an important part of seeking forgiveness from Him.
