حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ الْعُمَرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نُصَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيق ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

مَا أَصَرَّ مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ، وَإِنْ عَادَ فِي الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةٍ
