حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَنَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ وَسُفْيَانُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْوَالِبِيِّ عَنْ أَسْمَائَ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ الْفَزَارِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ کُنْتُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِمَا شَائَ مِنْهُ وَإِذَا حَدَّثَنِي عَنْهُ غَيْرُهُ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ صَدَّقْتُهُ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي وَصَدَقَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا فَيَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوئَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَکْعَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ مِسْعَرٌ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1395
It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abu Talib said: "If I heard a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah , Allah benefited me with it as much as He willed, and if heard it from anyone else, I would ask him to swear an oath, then if he swore an oath I would believe him. Abu Bakr told me and Abu Bakr spoke the truth that the Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no man who commits a sin then he performs ablution and does it well, then he prays two Rak'ah: (one of the narrators) Misar said: 'then performs prayer and seeks the forgiveness of Allah, but Allah will forgive him.' (Hasan)
