عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَاحِبِ الشَّعِيرِ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ كَلْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عليهما السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَتَلَقَّى آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَلِماتٍ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَتَلَقَّى آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَلِماتٍ قَالَ سَأَلَهُ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ فَاطِمَةَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ.


472. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from ibn Abu 'Umayr, from Ibrahim the owner of the Barley, from Katheer bin Kalthama, from one of them (peace be upon them both) who has narrated the following: "Regarding the statement of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: “Then Adam received (some) words from his Lord” [2:37], he said: ‘There is no god except You, Glory be to You, our Allah, and by Your Praise, I have acted in an evil manner and have been unjust to myself, so Forgive me, and You are the best of the Forgivers. There is no god except You. Glory be to You, our Allah, and by Your Praise. I have acted in an evil manner and have been unjust to myself, so Forgive me and be Merciful to me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful ones. There is no god except You. Glory be to You, our Allah, and by Your Praise. I have acted in an evil manner and have been unjust to myself, so Turn (with Forgiveness) to me for You are the Merciful Forgiver’. And in another report regarding the statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “Then Adam received (some) words from his Lord” [2:37], he said: ‘He asked for (forgiveness for) by the right of Muhammad ﷺ, and Ali (a.s), and Al-Hassan (a.s), and Al-Husayn (a.s), and Fatima (s.a)’.
