عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم يَقُولُ: "قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ!" "إنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتنِي وَرَجَوْتنِي" "غَفَرْتُ لَك عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْك وَلَا أُبَالِي" "يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ! لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُك عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ" "ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك" رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

English
On the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA), I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Allah the Almighty has said: O son of Adam!" "As long as you call upon Me and ask of Me," "I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind." "O son of Adam! Were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky," "and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you." Related by at-Tirmidhi, who said it is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.
