حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الشَّنِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ يَسَارِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُنِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ قَالَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَرَّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ»

Zayd, the client of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If anyone says: “I ask pardon of Allah than Whom there is no deity, the Living, the eternal, and I turn to Him in repentance,” he will be pardoned, even if he has fled in time of battle.

নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর মুক্তদাস বিলাল ইবনু ইয়াসার ইবনু যায়িদ (রাঃ) বলেন, আমি আমার আব্বাকে আমার দাদার সূত্রে বর্ণনা করতে শুনেছি, তিনি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছেন, যে ব্যক্তি এই দু‘আ পাঠ করবেঃ আসতাগফিরুল্লাহ আল্লাযী লা ইলাহা ইল্লা হুওয়াল হাইয়্যুল ক্বাইয়্রূম ওয়া আতূবু ইলায়হি’’ সে জিহাদের ময়দান হতে পলায়ন করলেও তাকে ক্ষমা করা হবে।[1] সহীহ।

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے غلام زید رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ انہوں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے سنا: جس نے«أستغفر الله الذي لا إله إلا هو الحي القيوم وأتوب إليه» کہا تو اس کے گناہ معاف کر دئیے جائیں گے اگرچہ وہ میدان جنگ سے بھاگ گیا ہو ۱؎ ۔

Hilal b. Yesar b. Zeyd babası Yesâr'dan, Rasulullah’ın azatlası olan dedesi Zeyd'in, Hz. Peygamber'i şöyle buyururken işittiğini rivayet etmiştir: "Kim = Kendisinden başka ilâh olmayan hayy ve kayyûm olan Allah'tan beni bağışlamasını dilerim, ona tevbe ederim" derse, -savaştan kaçmış bile olsa- günahları bağışlanır

What it means

Anyone who says "I ask forgiveness from Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence, and I turn to Him in repentance," his sins will be forgiven even if he fled from fighting the infidels on the battlefield. It is known from a Hadīth that desertion is one of the seven major sins. The correct meaning of the present Hadīth is that one should repent from all sins, including desertion.

Otherwise, seeking forgiveness while continuing to commit a certain sin is useless, unless one repents from it.
