حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْرُوفٍ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْدِي اسْتَقْبَلَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُهُ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً.
English Translation
Affan narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Abu Ma'ruf, that Abu Dharr related to them that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Were My servant to come to Me with sins filling the earth, I would come to him with forgiveness filling it."
