ما يقول ويفعل من أذنب ذنبا

1. مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذنِبُ ذَنْباً فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ.

   Any servant who commits a sin, then performs ablution well, stands and prays two units of prayer and asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah forgives him.
