8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Mahbub from Aban from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’Yun who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, forgave a man from the village by two words with which he pleaded before Allah. He said, O Lord, if You punish me, it is because I deserve it and if You forgive me it is worthy of You (Your greatness) and (for this) Allah granted him forgiveness.’”
