حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ:
" أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا، فَسَأَلَ أَعْلَمَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا، فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: بَعْدَ قَتْلِ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ لَيْسَتْ لَكَ تَوْبَةٌ. فَانْتَضَى سَيْفَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ فَكَمَّلَ بِهِ مِائَةً. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ، فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ مِائَةَ نَفْسٍ فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَنْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ التَّوْبَةِ ؟ اخْرُجْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الْخَبِيثَةِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ بِهَا إِلَى قَرْيَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ فِيهِمْ. قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ وَعَرَضَ أَجَلُهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَاخْتَصَمَ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَمَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ، فَقَالَ إِبْلِيسُ: إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْصِنِي سَاعَةً قَطُّ، قَالَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ: إِنَّهُ خَرَجَ تَائِبًا. فَزَعَمَ حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ أَنَّ بَكْرًا حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَ اللهُ مَلَكًا فَاجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ - رَجَعَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى حَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ - قَالَ: فَقَالَ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى أَيِّ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ فَأَلْحِقُوهُ بِأَهْلِهَا. قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: فَقَرَّبَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْقَرْيَةَ الصَّالِحَةَ، وَبَاعَدَ مِنْهُ الْخَبِيثَةَ وَأَلْحَقُوهُ بِأَهْلِهَا

✧ A man killed ninety-nine people, then asked about the most knowledgeable person on earth and was directed to a man. He came to him and said: 'He has killed ninety-nine people; is there any repentance for him?' He said: 'After killing ninety-nine, there is no repentance for you.' So he drew his sword and killed him, completing a hundred with him. Then he remained as long as God willed, then asked about the most knowledgeable person on earth and was directed to a man. He said: 'He has killed a hundred people; is there any repentance for him?' He said: 'Who can stand between you and repentance? Leave this wicked village you are in and go to such-and-such village, and worship your Lord there.' He set out, and his appointed time came on the road. The angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed. Iblis said: 'He never disobeyed me for even an hour.' The angels of mercy said: 'He came out as a penitent.' Humayd al-Tawil claimed that Bakr narrated to him from Abu Rafi' that God sent an angel, and they gathered to him - the hadith returns to the hadith of Qatadah - he said: 'Look to which of the two towns he was closer, and attach him to its people.' Qatadah said: 'God, Mighty and Majestic, brought the righteous town near, and made the wicked town far from him, and they attached him to its people.'
