Qatadah on Istighfar: Quran shows us spiritual diseases, their cures

Salam ibn Miskin reported: Qatadah, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Verily, this Quran tells you about your diseases and your cures. As for your diseases, they are your sins. As for your cures, it is seeking the forgiveness of Allah.”

عن سَلام بْن مِسْكِينٍ قال قَتَادَة رحمه الله إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ يَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى دَائِكُمْ وَدَوَائِكُمْ أَمَّا دَاؤُكُمْ فَذُنُوبُكُمْ وَأَمَّا دَوَاؤُكُمْ فَالاسْتِغْفَارُ
