Mishkat al-Masabih #2229
Supplications
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «إِنَّ الْعَبَدَ إِذَا اعْتَرَفَ ثُمَّ تَابَ تَابَ الله عَلَيْهِ»
'A’isha reported God’s messenger as saying, "When a servant acknowledges his sin and repents, God forgives him.”
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
