Do Not Be Discouraged From Seeking Forgiveness…

Ja’far ibn Burqan reported:

I said to a man from Basra:
“How can one of us continue to kneel before his Lord seeking his forgiveness for a sin, then he returns to it, then again he seeks forgiveness, then again he returns to it?”

It was mentioned to Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may ALLAH have mercy on him) and he said:
“Satan wishes for you to think like this, so do not be discouraged from seeking forgiveness.”
