It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The believer is one who tears (his garment of deeds through sins) and then patches it (through repentance and seeking forgiveness); so fortunate is the one whose end comes while he is patching it (repenting)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir (may Allah have mercy on him) except Sa'id bin Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him), and Ya'qub bin Ishaq al-Hadrami (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
