The story of istighfar.
Alhamdulillah, as we are getting to Ramadhan, we need to make istighfar as Allah is ready to accept our repentence if we are sincere
Allah says,
At-Tahrim 66:8
O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, "Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent."
Jundub bin 'Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Once someone said: 'By Allah! Allah will not forgive such and such (a person).' Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, said: 'Who is he who takes an oath in My Name that I will not grant pardon to so-and-so? I have granted pardon to so-and-so and rendered your good deeds fruitless."' [Muslim].
Book 18, Hadith 66.
This is what will happen on the day of qiyaamah, the day when Allah will ask a person did you say I will not forgive so and so while he wants my forgiveness and died in that state, Allah will forgive the person and admit the one who says Allah will not forgive so and so into hellfire since he spoke about Allah without knowledge.
May Allah guides us and forgives us. Aamin
