24-4 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Ali ibn al’Sindy, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Sa’id, on the authority of Amr ibn Sahl, on the authority of Harun ibn Kharijah, on the authority of Jabir al-Jo’afy that Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) said,

“Whoever asks God for forgiveness seventy times after the dawn prayer will be forgiven by God on that day even though he commits seventy-thousand sins on that day. However, it will not benefit anyone who commits more than seventy-thousand sins on that day.”In another tradition we read seven-hundred sins instead of seventy-thousand sins.”
