“If I heard a Hadith
from
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Allah benefitted me with it as much
as
He willed, and if I heard it from anyone else, I would ask him to
swear me an oath, then if he swore an oath I would believe him. Abu
Bakr told me and Abu Bakr spoke the truth that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘There is no man who commits a sin then he performs
ablution and does it well, then he prays two Rak’ah,’ (one of the
narrators) Mis’ar said: ‘then performs prayer and seeks the
forgiveness of Allah, but Allah will forgive him.’
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 593
