حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُو
لُ إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ لِرَبِّهِ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَجَلَالِكَ لَا أَبْرَحُ أُغْوِي بَنِي آدَمَ مَا دَامَتْ الْأَرْوَاحُ فِيهِمْ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ فَبِعِزَّتِي وَجَلَالِي لَا أَبْرَحُ أَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَغْفَرُونِي

English Translation
Abu Salamah narrated to us, Layth informed us, from Yazid ibn al-Had, from 'Amr, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed Iblis said to his Lord: "By Your might and Your majesty, I will not stop misleading the children of Adam as long as their souls remain in their bodies." Allah said: "By My might and My majesty, I will not stop forgiving them as long as they seek My forgiveness."'
