حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ , أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ , عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ الْعَبْدِ مَا لَمْ يُغَرْغِرْ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “Allah accepts the repentance of His slave so long as the death rattle has not yet reached his throat.”
