Hadith 1479

إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا

Allah is Shy and Generous. He is shy of His servant when he raises his hands to Him, to return them empty.

Narrated by Salman al-Farisi

سَيِّدُ الاِسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ

The master of seeking forgiveness is to say: 'O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I uphold Your covenant and promise to the best of my ability.'

Narrated by Shaddad ibn Aws

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا فَيَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ لَهُ

No servant commits a sin, then performs wudu well, then stands and prays two units of prayer, then asks Allah for forgiveness, except that Allah forgives him.
