What is the authenticity of the hadith (The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin) and the hadith (Repentance wipes out what came before it)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner :
The one who repents from sin is like one who did not sin. التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له
Sunan Ibn Majah 4250Da’if (Darussalam)
Is the hadith authentic?

The Shaykh : I think it is authentic like this.

The questioner : Good.

The Shaykh : I mean, it is established, yes.
Another questioner : And in a hadith, O Shaykh, it says:
Repentance wipes out what came before it التوبة تجبّ ما قبلها
?

The Shaykh :
Repentance wipes out what came before it التوبة تجبّ ما قبلها
.
Another questioner : I said, O Shaykh, that it has no basis.

The Shaykh : I am thinking because there is a hadith
Islam wipes out what came before it. الإسلام يجبّ ما قبله
and what else did he say:
Islam wipes out what came before it. الإسلام يجبّ ما قبله
There is a second phrase that gets mixed up with it.
Another questioner : It exists, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : No, but I want to finish my point. There is a second phrase in the hadith
Islam wipes out what came before it. الإسلام يجبّ ما قبله
perhaps
Hajj also wipes out what came before it الحج أيضا يجبّ ما قبله
so some people narrate it as "Repentance wipes out what came before it", and we have not found a basis for this, yes.
