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.
