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. التَّائب من الذَّنب كمن لا ذنبَ له
Sunan Ibn Majah 4250Da’if (Darussalam)
; is this hadith authentic?

The Shaykh: I think so, it is authentic.

The questioner : It is 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 تجبُّ ما قبلها
?

The Shaykh :
Repentance wipes out what came before it التوبة تجبُّ 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 يجبُّ ما قبله
, and what else did he say?
Islam wipes out what came before it الإسلام يجبُّ ما قبله
There is a second phrase that gets mixed up with it.

Another questioner: It exists, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh: No, what Allah willed .. Finish my sentence, there is a second phrase in the hadith:
Islam wipes out what came before it الإسلام يجبُّ ما قبله
Perhaps:
Hajj - also - wipes out what came before it الحج - أيضًا - يجبُّ ما قبله
, so some people narrate it as
Repentance wipes out what came before it التوبة تجبُّ ما قبلها
, and we have not found a basis for this, yes, that is right.
