Hadith About Tawbah

Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: I asked Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, about His saying, “Repent to Allah with sincere repentance,” (66:8). Umar said, “It is a servant who repents from a sin and never commits it again.”Source: Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī 23/107
Musa ibn Abi Habib reported: Ali ibn Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Verily, repentance is only by action and turning away from the matter. Repentance is not by speech alone.”Source: al-Tawbah li-Ibn Abī al-Dunyā 57
‘Imran ibn Husayn reported: A woman of Juhaynah came to the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while she was pregnant from adultery. She said, “O Prophet of Allah, I have committed a legal offense, so impose it upon me.” The Prophet called for her guardian and he said, “Be kind to her and when she gives birth, bring her to me.” He did so and the Prophet ordered for her shroud to be wrapped over her, then her ordered her to be stoned and he prayed over her. Umar said, “Do you prayer over one who committed adultery?” The Prophet said, “She had repented with such repentance that, if it had been divided between seventy people of Medina, it would have reached beyond them. Have you found any repentance better than this, that she gave up her life for Allah Almighty?”Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1696
