Ayah: 53

۞ قُلۡ يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

53. Say (Muhammad, that Allāh says): "O my slaves (of mankind and jinn), who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the Mercy of Allāh14. For Allāh certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, the All-Merciful."

14. Some persons amongst the pagans who had committed a large number of murders and had excessively indulged in liquor and fornication, came to Prophet Muhammad and said: Whatever you assert and whatever you call to is indeed good. But if you inform us that there is atonement of our past deeds (then we would embrace Islam). Then it was revealed: "And those who call not unto another god along with Allāh and slay not any soul which Allah has forbidden except in the cause of justice, nor commit fornication; and he who does this shall meet the requital of sin. Multiplied for him shall be the torment on the Day of Resurrection, and he shall therein abide disgraced, except him who repents and believes and does good deeds. Then these! Allah shall change their vices into virtues. Verily Allah is Ever Forgiving, Merciful."
And revealed also this verse: "Say  (Muhammad, that Allāh says): "O my slaves (of mankind and jinn), who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the Mercy of Allāh. For Allāh certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, the All-Merciful."
