مَثَلُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ مَثَلُ وَرَقٍ عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ تُحَرَّكُ فَيَتَنَاثَرُ وَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ وَ يَفْعَلُهُ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ بِرَبِّهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Yasser, (It has been narrated) from Al Reza<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘An example of the seeking of the Forgiveness is like an example of a leaf upon a tree you are shaking, so it falls off, and the Forgiven one from sins, and he (still) goes and does it (again), is like the one mocking with his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>’.
