  8. Imam Sadiq (as.) said

    "When a person does Taubah Nasooh, Allah loves him; and his sins of this world and hereafter are concealed." The narrator asked, "How does Allah conceal all his sins?" Imam (a.s.) replied, "He makes the two angels who write deeds forget those sins and orders the parts of his body to keep the sins hidden. All the parts of the earth where he has committed sins are ordered to hide his sins. Hence when that person comes in the presence of Allah, nothing in this universe will testify to even the smallest of his sins."
