حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ وَهُوَ أَتَمُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَنْ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ جُلَيْدٍ الْحَجْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَمْ نَعْفُو عَنْ الْخَادِمِ فَصَمَتَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْکَلَامَ فَصَمَتَ فَلَمَّا کَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ اعْفُوا عَنْهُ فِي کُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5164
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked: Messenger of Allah! how often shall I forgive a servant? He gave no reply, so the man repeated what he had said, but he still kept silence. When he asked a third time, he replied: Forgive him seventy times daily.
