The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ

Ma min 'abdin yudhnibu dhanban fayuhsinut-tuhura thumma yaqumu fayusalli rak'atayni thumma yastaghfirullaha ila ghafarallahu lah

There is no servant who commits a sin, then purifies himself well, then stands and prays two rakʿahs, then asks Allah's forgiveness, except that Allah forgives him.
