أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ:

قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا، ثُمَّ أَرَادَ التَّوْبَةَ، فَأَتَى رَاهِبًا بِأَرْضٍ عَرِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ: يَا رَاهِبُ، قَتَلْتُ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا، فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: لَا جَرَمَ، وَاللهِ لَأُكْمِلَنَّهُمْ بِكَ مِائَةً. ثُمَّ أَتَى رَاهِبًا آخَرَ، قَالَ: إِنِّي قَتَلْتُ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا وَكَمَّلْتُهُمْ مِائَةً بِرَاهِبٍ، فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَسْرَفْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَرَكِبْتَ عَظِيمًا، وَمَنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: فَنَبَذَ السَّيْفَ، وَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَأَخْدُمَنَّكَ حَتَّى يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَنَا الْمَوْتُ. قَالَ: عَاهَدَهُ أَنْ لَا يَعْصِيَهُ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ سَفَرًا أَوْ مُسْنِتُونَ وَكَانَ يَتَطَبَّبُ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: تَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَاسْجُرِ التَّنُّورَ. قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ فَسَجَرَهُ حَتَّى حَمِيَ. فَقَالَ: قَدْ حَمِيَ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي ؟ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَقْعَ فِيهِ. قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ ادَّكَرَ الرَّاهِبُ فَقَامَ وَقَامَ مَنْ مَعَهُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي التَّنُّورِ يَرْشَحُ عَرَقًا لَمْ تَضُرَّهُ النَّارُ. فَقَالَ الرَّاهِبُ: قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ تَوْبَتَكَ قَدْ قُبِلَتْ، فَلَأَخْدُمَنَّكَ أَبَدًا حَتَّى تُفَارِقَنِي. قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ: وَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ كُتِبَ كَفَّارَةُ ذَنْبِهِ عَلَى أُسْكُفَّةِ بَابِهِ، فَفَضَّلَكُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ فَأُمِرْتُمْ بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ، فَتَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللهَ تَعَالَى، قَالَ: وَلَقَدْ أَعْطَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ آيَةً مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لَهُمْ بِهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا: وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ الْآيَةَ

✧ A man killed ninety-nine people. Then he wanted to repent, so he went to a monk in a barren land and said, "O monk, I have killed ninety-nine people. Is there any repentance for me?" He said, "No." He said, "No doubt, by Allah, I will complete them to a hundred with you." Then he went to another monk and said, "I have killed ninety-nine people and completed them to a hundred with a monk. Is there any repentance for me?" He said, "You have gone to excess against yourself and committed a grave sin, but whoever repents, Allah turns to him." He said, "So he threw away the sword and said, 'By Allah, I will serve you until death separates us.'" He said, "He made a covenant with him not to disobey him." He said, "Then some people came who were travelers or afflicted with drought, and he used to practice medicine. The man said, 'Do you command me to do anything?' He said, 'Go and stoke the oven.' He said, 'So he went and stoked it until it became hot.' He said, 'It has become hot, so what do you command me?' He said, 'Go and fall into it.' He said, 'So he went and fell into it.' Then the monk remembered and stood up, and those with him stood up, and there he was in the oven, sweating, and the fire did not harm him. The monk said, 'I have come to know that your repentance has been accepted, so I will serve you forever until you depart from me.' Ibn Mas'ud ؓ said, 'Among the Children of Israel, when one of them committed a sin, he would wake up with the expiation for his sin written on the threshold of his door. Allah the Exalted has favored you over them, for you have been commanded to seek forgiveness, and you seek forgiveness from Allah the Exalted.' He said, 'And He has given this nation a verse which I would not love to have in exchange for the world and all that is in it: And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins...'"
