Hadith 42 - The Expanse of the Forgiveness of Allah

Sharh Arba'een an Nawawî

Imam Nawawi’s Forty Hadeeth

Hadeeth 42

On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, “Allah the Almighty has said: ‘O Son of Adam, as long as you invoke Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O Son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and you then asked forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you. O Son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the Earth, and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it [too].’”

It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who said that it was a hasan hadeeth.

Hadith Qudsi 35:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah [The Most High]  said: 

Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says:  

Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it? 

Who is asking something of Me that I may give it him? 

Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him? 

It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud).  In a version by Muslim the Hadith ends with the words: 

And thus He continues till [the light of] dawn shines.

Hadith Qudsi 34:

On the authority of Anas (may Allah [The Most High] be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah [The Most High]  say: Allah the Almighty said: 

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. 

O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. 

O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it. 

It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound.
