قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ تَوْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ السَّنَةَ لَكَثِيرَةٌ مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ تَوْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ لَكَثِيرٌ مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِجُمْعَةٍ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ تَوْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْجُمْعَةَ لَكَثِيرٌ مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِيَوْمٍ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ تَوْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ يَوْماً لَكَثِيرٌ مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُعَايِنَ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ تَوْبَتَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The one who repents one year before his death, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Accept his repentance’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A year is a lot. The one who repents by a month before his death, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Accept his repentance’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A month is a lot. The one who repents one Friday (week) before his death, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Accept his repentance’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A Friday (week) is a lot. The one who repents one day before his death, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Accept his repentance’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A day is a lot. The one who repents before he sees (the death), Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Accept his repentance’.
