A young man was on his deathbed when the Holy Prophet (as) came, sat near him, and told him to recite two Kalimas (Shahadatain). But the youth could not speak. The Holy Prophet (as) enquired if his mother was present? A woman sitting near his head said, “Yes, I am his mother.” The Holy Prophet (sas) asked, “ Are your displeased with him ?” ‘Yes, O Prophet, we have not spoken to each other since the last six years.’ The Holy Prophet (sas) asked this woman to forgive her son. Thus at the Prophet’s instance she forgave his mistakes and was reconciled. At once the young man was able to recite the Kalima al-Shahadat. The Holy Prophet(sas) asked him, “What do you see, at this moment.” “O Prophet of Allah a dark and smelly man has got hold of me and is not leaving me.” The Holy Prophet (saws) told him to recite the following Dua:
يَا مَنْ يَقْبَلُ الْيَسِيرَ وَ يَعْفو عَنِ الْكَثِيرَ، اِقْبَلْ مِنِّي الْيَسِيرَ وَ اعْفُ عَنِّى الْكَثِير، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيم
Ya man Yaqbalul yasīra wa y’afo ‘Anil Kathīra Iqbal minnil Yasīra Wa ‘Āfo ‘Annil Kathīr innaka antal gahfoorror Rahim
O He who accepts little & forgives much, accept the little from me and forgive the high number of sins as you are the best of Forgivers and Merciful
