Question:
This is another questioner who says: May Allah bless you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach his Companions the Master of Seeking Forgiveness, which is for a person to say in the morning and evening:Mishkat al-Masabih 2335 He asks about this hadith, may Allah preserve you, and does it also include major sins?
Answer:
Yes, this hadith is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is the master of seeking forgiveness. This wording is the master of seeking forgiveness. Whoever seeks forgiveness, Allah forgives him his major and minor sins.[Az-Zumar 39:53], so repentance wipes out what came before it, whether it be disbelief, shirk (associating partners with Allah), major sins, or minor sins; all of them are erased by sincere repentance. [Al-Anfal 8:38] meaning if they repent [Al-Anfal 8:38] from disbelief, then repentance wipes out what came before it of all sins, disobedience, major sins, and minor sins. Yes.
