Context
Another narration in [al-Mustadrak] is from Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh 
, who related that a man came to the Messenger of Allah 
and said: “My sins, my sins!” He said this twice or thrice. The Messenger of Allah then told him: “Say: O Allah, Your forgiveness is vaster than my sins, and Your Mercy is more hopeful for me than my deeds.” The man said those words, and then [the Prophet] said: “Repeat.” [The man] repeated them and then he said: “Repeat.” [The man] repeated them. Then [the Prophet ] said to him: “Stand up; Allah has forgiven you.” [55].
