عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ قَدْ خَنَقَتْهُ ، ثُمَّ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَانْفَكَّتْ حَلْقَةٌ ، ثُمَّ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً أُخْرَى فَانْفَكَّتْ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَأَحَدُ إِسْنَادَيِ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ رِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The parable of one who first does evil deeds and then does good deeds is like a man wearing a tight coat of mail that is choking him; then when he does a good deed, one of its rings loosens; then he does another good deed and another ring loosens, until the coat of mail falls to the ground."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, and the narrators of one of al-Tabarani's two chains are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا مَضَى ، وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ أُخِذَ بِمَا مَضَى وَبِمَا بَقِيَ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever does good in what remains (of his life) will be forgiven for what has passed (of his life); and whoever does evil in what remains of his life will be taken to account for both what has passed (the deeds of his life) and what remains (the deeds of his life)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain is hasan (good).

وَعَنْ أَبِي طَوِيلٍ شَطْبٍ الْمَمْدُودِ ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ عَمِلَ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ، وَهُوَ فِي ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ حَاجَّةً وَلَا دَاجَّةً إِلَّا أَتَاهَا ، فَهَلْ لِذَلِكَ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ قَالَ : " فَهَلْ أَسْلَمْتَ ؟ " . قَالَ : فَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " تَفْعَلُ الْخَيْرَاتِ ، وَتَتْرُكُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ، فَيَجْعَلُهُنَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ خَيْرَاتٍ كُلَّهُنَّ " . قَالَ : وَغَدَرَاتِي وَفَجَرَاتِي ؟ ! قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . قَالَ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، فَمَا زَالَ يُكَبِّرُ حَتَّى تَوَارَى . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ بِنَحْوِهِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " تَعْمَلُ الْخَيْرَاتِ ، وَتَسْبُرُ السَّبَرَاتِ " . وَرِجَالُ الْبَزَّارِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ أَبِي نَشِيطٍ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Tawil Shatb al-Mamdud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: What is your view of a person who commits all sins and leaves none of them, and in doing so commits every sin great and small; is there any repentance for him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you accepted Islam?" He said: As for me, I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah Almighty and that you are the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do good deeds and abandon evil deeds, and Allah Almighty will turn all of them into good deeds for you." The man asked: My betrayals and my transgressions as well (will Allah Almighty turn them into good deeds)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." The man said: Allahu Akbar! And he kept on saying takbir until he disappeared from sight.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and al-Bazzar recorded something similar, except that he recorded these words: "Do good deeds and keep reflecting." The narrators of al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Muhammad bin Harun Abu Nashit, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
