حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فُضُولًا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ یَنْحَلُهُ مَنْ یَشَاءُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ اللَّهُ بَاسِطٌ یَدَیْهِ عِنْدَ کُلِّ فَجْرٍ لِمُذْنِبِ اللَّیْلِ هَلْ یَتُوبُ فَیَغْفِرَ لَهُ وَ یَبْسُطُ یَدَیْهِ عِنْدَ مَغِیبِ الشَّمْسِ لِمُذْنِبِ النَّهَارِ هَلْ یَتُوبُ فَیَغْفِرَ لَهُ.

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Allah gives abundant sustenance to whomsoever He desires. Similarly the mercy of Allah is spread far and wide for the sinners day and night waiting for the person to repent and be forgiven. The mercy of Allah waits at sunset for the people who committed sins during the day to repent and get themselves forgiven.”
