حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ، قَالَ:

جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ: « إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى لَا يَتَعَاظَمُهُ ذَنْبٌ غَفَرَهُ، إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ قَتَلَ ثَمَانِيَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَأَتَى رَاهِبًا فَقَالَ لَهُ: قَتَلْتُ ثَمَانِيَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، فَقَتَلَهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى رَاهِبًا آخَرَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: لَا فَقَتَلَهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَى آخَرَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ مِائَةَ نَفْسٍ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَسْرَفْتَ وَمَا أَدْرِي، وَلَكِنْ هَاهُنَا قَرْيَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يُقَالُ لَهَا: نَضْرَةُ ; أَهْلُهَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِيهِمْ غَيْرُهُمْ، وَالْأُخْرَى يُقَالُ لَهَا: كَفْرَةُ ; أَهْلُهَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِيهِمْ غَيْرُهُمْ، فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَهْلِ نَضْرَةَ فَإِنْ عَمِلْتَ عَمَلَهُمْ وَتُبْتَ فَلَا تَشُكَّ فِي تَوْبَتِكَ، فَانْطَلَقَ يُرِيدُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ أَدْرَكَهُ أَجَلُهُ، فَسَأَلَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ رَبَّهَا، قَالَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: انْظُرُوا أَيَّ الْقَرْيَتَيْنِ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ فَاكْتُبُوهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، فَوَجَدُوهُ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى نَضْرَةَ بِقَدْرِ أُنْمُلَةٍ فَكَتَبُوهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat one day while we were with him and said: “Allah, Exalted, is not overwhelmed by any sin that He forgives. A man before you killed ninety-eight people. He came to a monk and said to him: ‘I have killed ninety-eight people; do you find any repentance for me?’ He said: ‘No,’ so he killed him. Then he came to another monk and told him that he had killed ninety-nine people; do you find any repentance for me? He said: ‘No,’ so he killed him. Then he came to another and told him that he had killed a hundred people; do you find any repentance for me? He said: ‘You have transgressed greatly, and I do not know. But here are two villages: one is called Naḍrah; its people do the deeds of the people of Paradise, and no one else remains among them. The other is called Kafrah; its people do the deeds of the people of the Fire, and no one else remains among them. Go to the people of Naḍrah, and if you do their deeds and repent, do not doubt your repentance.’ So he set out toward it, until when he was between the two villages, his appointed time overtook him. The angels, peace be upon them, asked their Lord about him. He, Majestic and Exalted, said: ‘Look at which of the two villages he was closer to, and record him among its people.’ They found him closer to Naḍrah by a fingertip, so they recorded him among its people.”
