سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ما أَصابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِما كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ فَقَالَ هُوَ وَ يَعْفُوا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ هَذَا أَرَدْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ مَا أَصَابَ عَلِيّاً وَ أَشْبَاهَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ( عليهم السلام ) مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً مِنْ غَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:42#h30"><a href="/books/quran:42#h30">[42:30]</a></a> And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘<span class="ibTxt">and (yet) He Pardons most (of your faults)</span>’. I said, ‘Is it not this which I intended. What is your<sup>asws</sup> view of what hit Ali<sup>asws</sup> and his<sup>asws</sup> like from the People<sup>asws</sup> of his<sup>asws</sup> Household, from that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> used to turn to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> during every day, seventy times, from without having sinned’.
