Once a man came into the Mosque of the prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] lamenting over his sins. The man was so overcome and saddened by his state that the Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] said to him, “Say this:
اللهم مغفرتك أوسع من ذنوبي ورحمتك أرجى عندي من عملي
Allahuma maghfiratoka awsaa’ min thonoobi
Wa rahmatoka arja ‘andey min ‘amaley
"Oh Allah, your forgiveness is greater than my sins and my hope in Your mercy is greater to me than my actions”
The man said this and the Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] said to him, “Say it again.” The man repeated it then the Prophet said to him, “Say it again.” The man did it and the Prophet
[صلى الله عليه وسلم] said to him, “Arise for, indeed, Allah has forgiven you.”*
*This incident was related by al-Hakim with a sound chain that he considered to match the standards of Imam Muslim
