The limit of a servant's self-reproach

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, is there a limit to this self-reproach that a servant should stop at?

Answer:
No, there is no limit to it. Rather, he should always be with himself, rebuking and holding himself to account, and he should not stop with himself.
