11.Ṣafwān ibn Yaḥyā narrated from al-Ḥarth ibn al-Mughīrah, from Abū ʿAbdillāh who said,

“Verily Allah loves the one who admits [his sins] and repents often.” He [then] said, “The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) used to turn to Allah in repentance seventy times a day without having committed any sin.” The narrator asked, “Would he say: I seek forgiveness from Allah and turn back to Him in repentance?” He replied, “He would say: I turn [penitently] to Allah.”
