Assalaamu 'alaykum!
‘Aun Ibn ‘Abdillaah Ibn ‘Utbah said:

The slave worrying about his sins is a motive to leaving them off, his remorse for them is a key to repentance, and a slave will not continue to worry about the sin that he commits until it becomes more beneficial to him then some of his good deeds.”
[Al-Hilyah, 4/251]

al-hasan Al-Basree said:

“Verily, a man commits a sin and never forgets it and he won’t cease to be afraid of it until he enters Paradise.”
[Az-Zuhd of Imaam Ahmad, p. 338]

Abul Minhaal said:

“There can’t possibly be a better neighbour for the slave in his grave than abundant istighfaar.”
[Az-Zuhd of Imaam Ahmad, p. 396]
