وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْبَيْلَمَانِيِّ قَالَ : اجْتَمَعَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - قَبِلَ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِيَوْمٍ " . فَقَالَ الثَّانِي : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ ! قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِنِصْفِ يَوْمٍ " . فَقَالَ الثَّالِثُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ ! قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِضَحْوَةٍ " . فَقَالَ الرَّابِعُ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ ! قَالَ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يُغَرْغِرْ بِنَفْسِهِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Abd al-Rahman al-Baylamani says: Four of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered together. One of them said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of His servant even a day before he dies." The second Companion asked: Did you yourself hear this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. So the second Companion said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of His servant even half a day before he dies." The third Companion asked: Did you yourself hear this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. So the third Companion said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of His servant even as long before his death as the forenoon (the time when the day has risen after sunrise)." The fourth Companion asked: Did you yourself hear this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. So the fourth Companion said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of His servant as long as the death rattle has not come upon him."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Abd al-Rahman, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
