سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا خَرَجَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ بِإِصْرَارٍ وَ مَا خَرَجَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ إِلَّا بِإِقْرَارٍ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! A servant cannot get out of a sin while being persistence (in it), and a servant cannot get out of a sin except by acknowledgement’ (which is asking for forgiveness).
