Seeking forgiveness

Etiquette

Sunan Ibn Mājah 3821

تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا وَأَزِيدُ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ مِثْلُهَا أَوْ أَغْفِرُ وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا وَمَنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً وَمَنْ لَقِيَنِي بِقِرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً ثُمَّ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَقِيتُهُ بِمِثْلِهَا مَغْفِرَةً

tabāraka wataʿālā man jāʾa bi-l-ḥasanah falah ʿashru amthālihā wa-azīdu waman jāʾa bi-as-sayyiʾah fajazāʾu sayyiʾatin mithluhā aw aghfiru waman taqarraba minnī shibran taqarrabtu minhu dhirāʿan waman taqarraba minnī dhirāʿan taqarrabtu minhu bāʿan waman atānī yamshī ataytuhu harwalatan waman laqiyanī biqirābi al-arḍi khaṭīʾatan thumma lā yushriku bī shayʾan laqītuhu bimithlihā maghfiratan

The full narration

It was narrated from Abu Dharr that :the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'Whoever does one good deed will have (the reward of) ten like it and more, and whoever does a bad deed will have one like it, or I will forgive him. Whoever draws near to Me a hand span, I draw near to him an arm's length; whoever comes to Me a forearm's length, I draw near him an arm's length; whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him in a hurry. Whoever meets Me with an earthful of sins, but does not associate anything in worship with Me, I will meet it (i.e., his sins) with forgiveness equal to that
