A Man who killed 100 People
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Radi Allah Anhu) reported
Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) as saying:
"There was a person before you who had killed
ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry
about the learned persons of the world
(who could show him the way to salvation).
He was directed to a monk. He came to him
and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons
and asked him whether there was any scope
for his repentance to be accepted.
He (monk) said: No. He killed him also
and thus completed one hundred.
He then asked about the learned persons of the earth
and he was directed to a scholar, and he told him that
he had killed one hundred persons and asked him whether
there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted.
He (scholar) said: Yes;
what stands between you and the repentance?
You better go to such and such land;
there are people devoted to prayer and worship
and you also worship along with them and do not come
to the land of yours since it was an evil land (for you).
So he went away and he had hardly covered
half the distance when death came to him
and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy
and the angels of punishment.
The angels of mercy said:
This man has come as a penitent and remorseful to Allah
and the angels of punishment said:
He has done no good at all.
Then there came another angel in the form of
a human being in order to decide between them.
He said: You measure the land to which he has drawn near.
They measured it and found him nearer to the land
where he intended to go (the land of piety),
and so the angels of mercy took possession of it.
Qatada said that Hasan told him that it was said to them that as death
approached him, he crawled upon his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of
mercy."

This hadith has been
narrated on the authority of Qatida (Radi Allah Anhu)
with the same chain of transmitters
but (with this variation of wording):
"Allah commanded the earth (from
where)
he wanted to come out to move itself away
and to the other earth
(where he wanted to go)
to draw nearer."
[Sahih Muslim : Book
37, Book Name Kitab Al-Tauba Number 6664]
Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) reported
Allah's
Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-
wasallam) as saying:
He who seeks repentance (from the Lord)
before the rising of the sun from the west
(before the Day of
Resurrection) ,
Allah turns to him with Mercy.
[Sahih Muslim
: Book
35, Book Name Kitab Al-Dhikr Number 6525]
Abu Mu'sa (Radi Allah Anhu) reported
Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi- wasallam) as saying that
Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,
Stretches out His Hand during the night so that the people
repent for the fault committed from dawn till dusk and
He stretches out His Hand during the day so that the people
may reprint for the fault committed from dusk to dawn.
(He would accept repentance) before the sun rises in the west
(before the Day of Resurrection).
[Sahih Muslim : Book
37, Book Name Kitab Al-Tauba Number 6644]
