Regret is the cornerstone of repentance
Regret is an important condition of repentance, or it is the cornerstone of repentance. It was narrated that ‘Abdullah ibn Ma‘qil ibn Muqarrin said: My father was with ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud and heard him say:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Regret is repentance.”
Narrated by Ahmad (4012); classed as sahih by al-Albani.
One of the scholars said:
In order to repent it is sufficient to feel true regret, which leads to giving up the sin and resolving not to go back to it, for they both stem from regret and are not to be regarded as conditions alongside regret.
See: Fath al-Bari (13/471).
Al-Qari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Regret is repentance” because it leads to the other essential parts thereof, namely giving up the sin, resolving not to go back to it, and restoring people’s rights wherever possible…
What is meant is regret for having committed the sin because it is a sin, not for any other reason."(Mirqat al-Mafatih 4/1637).
