عَنْ أَبِیْ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللہِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللہِ صَلَّى اللہُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التَّائِبُ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ كَمَنْ لَا ذَنْبَ لَہُ
It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Abdullah on the authority of his father:
“Allah’s Messengersa said, ‘The one who repents of sin is like one who has in fact never sinned.’”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab al- Zuhd, Hadith 4250)
