Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَزِّمِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
لَيَدَعَنَّ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهِيَ خَيْرُ مَا يَكُونُ مُرْطِبَةٌ مُونِعَةٌ فَقِيلَ مَنْ يَأْكُلُهَا قَالَ الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ

English Translation
Aswad ibn Amir narrated to us, he said Hammad narrated to us, from Abu al-Muhazzim, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, a servant commits a sin and he says: "O Lord, I have sinned, so forgive me." So He forgives him. Then he commits a sin and says: "O Lord, I have sinned, so forgive me." So He forgives him. Then he commits a sin and says: "O Lord, I have sinned, so forgive me." So He says: "My servant knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and takes account for them. I have forgiven My servant, so let him do as he wishes."'
