سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا تَابَ الْعَبْدُ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ فَسَتَرَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ يَسْتُرُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يُنْسِي مَلَكَيْهِ مَا كَانَا يَكْتُبَانِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَى جَوَارِحِهِ وَ إِلَى بِقَاعِ الْأَرْضِ أَنِ اكْتُمِي عَلَيْهِ ذُنُوبَهُ فَيَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ وَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Musa Bin Al Qasim, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘When the servant repents with a sincere repentance, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Loves him, so He<sup>azwj</sup> Veils upon him’. So I said, ‘And how does He<sup>azwj</sup> Veil upon him?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He<sup>azwj</sup> Causes His<sup>azwj</sup> Angels who used to Record upon him to forget, and He<sup>azwj</sup> Reveals unto his body parts and unto the spot of the earth that they conceal his sins upon him. Thus, he would meet Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic when he does Meet him, and there would be nothing to testify against him for anything from the sins’.
