1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said
“Allah revealed onto Prophet Dawood, ‘O Dawood! If a believer commits sins and repents for it and feels ashamed in front of Me while repenting I forgive him. I will make the angel forget this sin and convert this sin into a good deed. I do not care (it is not difficult for me) for I am the Most Merciful’.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُوسَی بْنُ عِمْرَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ یَزِیدَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ أَوْحَی اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَی دَاوُدَ النَّبِیِّ ع یَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّ عَبْدِیَ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ذَنْباً ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَ تَابَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ الذَّنْبِ وَ اسْتَحْیَا مِنِّی عِنْدَ ذِکْرِهِ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ وَ أَنْسَیْتُهُ الْحَفَظَهَ وَ أَبْدَلْتُهُ الْحَسَنَهَ وَ لَا أُبَالِی وَ أَنَا أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِینَ.
