Don’t leave Istighfar.. A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him: 'The sky does not shower us with rain.' He replied: 'Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله).' Then another person came to him and said, 'I complain of poverty.' He replied: 'Seek Allah’s forgiveness.' Then another person came to him and complained, 'My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.' He replied: 'Seek Allah’s forgiveness.' The people who were present, said to al-Hasan: 'Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to seek Allah’s forgiveness?' Al-Hasan al-Basri said, 'Have you not read the statement of Allah? ‘I said 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He

Istighfar, for the language buffs وما كان الله معذبهم وهم يستغفرون '...and Allāh will not punish them while they seek forgiveness.' What do I love about the mufassir? He is a keen observer of the innocuous, and will unabashedly ask such questions as, 'Why would Allāh use the verb يستغفرون instead of the noun مستغفرون?' and 'Is there a difference?' With this thread of thought, the mufassir unravels wisdoms from the folds of language. A noun does what a verb cannot, and a mufassir will hunch over grammar books to study these subtleties.
