حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّ مِحْجَنَ بْنَ الْأَدْرَعِ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ قَضَی صَلَاتَهُ وَهُوَ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُکَ يَا أَللَّهُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَکُنْ لَهُ کُفُوًا أَحَدٌ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّکَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ ثَلَاثًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 985
Narrated Mihjan ibn al-Adra': The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and saw a man who had finished his prayer, and was reciting the tashahhud saying: O Allah, I ask you, O Allah, the One, the eternally besought of all, He begetteth not, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him, that you may forgive me my sins, you are Most Forgiving, Merciful. He (the Prophet) said: He was forgiven (repeating three times. )
