Abu Bakr reports: "I heard the Prophet sallallahu alehi
wasallam saying: 'Allah forgives the man who commits a sin
(then feels ashamed), purifies himself, offers a prayer and
seeks His forgiveness.' Then he recited the 'ayyah: 'And those
who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember
Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - and who can
forgive sins except Allah? - and will not knowingly repeat
(the wrong) they did. The reward of such will be forgiveness
from their Lord, and gardens underneath which rivers flow,
wherein they will abide forever- a bountiful reward for
workers."' [al-'lmran: 135-136]. This is related by Abu
Dawud, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, al-Baihaqi, and at-Tirmizhi who
calls it hasan.
At-Tabarani records in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, with a hasan
chain, from Abu ad-Darda' that the Prophet sallallahu alehi
wasallam said: "Whoever makes wudu' and perfects the wudu'
and then stands and prays two rak'at or four rak'at,
obligatory or non-obligatory, and perfects therein his ruku'
and sujjud and then asks for Allah's forgiveness, he will be
forgiven."
