And he that counteth forty waves, while repeating: 'God is Most Great!' - exalted be He - God will forgive his sins, both past and future." - Epistle To the Son of the Wolf
8. The Apostle of God - may the blessings of God and His salutations be upon Him - hath also said: "He that looketh upon the sea at eventide, and saith: 'God is Most Great!' at sunset, God will forgive his sins, though they be heaped as piles of sand. And he that counteth forty waves, while repeating: 'God is Most Great!' - exalted be He - God will forgive his sins, both past and future." - Epistle To the Son of the Wolf
When I was in Akka, I counted the forty waves while praying "Allah'u'Abha", God is Most Glorious. After completion of the prayer, this wave of feeling came over me like I had been "laundered" ;-) It was as if I was a shirt, and all the stains had been washed out. So I realized that I am not my sins, or the stains on my soul. It was truly the most amazing experience of my life.
" And he that counteth forty waves, while repeating: God is Most Great!—exalted be He—God will forgive his sins, both past and future. - Baha'u'llah (Epistle to the S.O.B.)

Baha'u'llah doesn't say those words himself. He is commenting on an Islamic hadith I believe.

It sounds worth a try taking it literally if you're ever in Akka.
btw That's from the book "Epistle to the Son of the Wolf" not Epistle to the Son of the Bitch.

@FromPersia - he does cite the Hadith, saying specifically that it is true.
