حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم ابن هاشم، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد الله اليقطيني، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن عبد الله بن سنان، وغيره، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: التوبة النصوح أن يكون باطن الرجل كظاهره وأفضل. وقد روي أن التوبة النصوح هو أن يتوب الرجل من ذنب وينوي أن لا يعود إليه أبدا.
3.	We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim ibn Hashim, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Isa bin Ubaidullah al-Yaqteeni, from Yunus bin Abdul-Rahman, from Abdullah bin Sinan, and others, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The sincere repentance is that a man’s internal (side) is like his apparent (side) and (even) better. It has been reported that the sincere repentance is that a man repents from a sin and intends to not return to it.
