The Book of Forgiveness cont..


Riyad as-Salihin, The Book of Forgiveness
Book 20, Hadith 1878
Narrated 'Anas (ra):
I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: 'O son of Adam! I shall go on forgiving you so long as you pray to Me and aspire for My forgiveness whatever may be your sins. O son of Adam! I do not care even if your sins should pile up to the sky and should you beg pardon of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam! If you come to Me with an earthful of sins and meet Me, not associating anything with Me in worship, I will certainly grant you as much pardon as will fill the earth."'

[At-Tirmidhi].

Riyad as-Salihin, The Book of Forgiveness
Book 20, Hadith 1879
Narrated 'Ibn 'Umar (ra):
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "O women folk! You should give charity and be diligent in seeking Allah's forgiveness because I have seen (i.e., on the Night of the Ascension to the highest heavens) that dwellers of the Hell are women."

A woman amongst them said: "Why is it that the majority of the dwellers of Hell are women?"

The Prophet (pbuh) replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. In spite of your lacking in wisdom and failing in religion, you are depriving the wisest of men of their intelligence."

Upon this the woman asked: "What is the deficiency in our wisdom and in our religion?" He (pbuh) replied, "Your lack of wisdom can be well judged from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to that one man. You do not offer Salat (prayer) for some days and you do not fast (the whole of) Ramadan sometimes, it is a deficiency in religion."

[Muslim].
