Post date: Jul 28, 2011 9:52:40 PM
This Hadith was mentioned in discussion today:
It was reported from Abu Umaamah that the Messenger of Allahs said:
“The angel on the left does not write down anything until six hours have passed after a Muslim does a bad deed. If he regrets it and asks Allaah for forgiveness, he casts it aside [does not write it down], otherwise he writes down one (sayi’ah/bad deed).”
(Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu‟jam al-Kabeer, 8/158. The hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‟, 2/212
