Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that there was a sinful man whose name was Al-Kifl. He liked a woman, so he gave her fifty dinars. When he intended to commit a wrongful act with her, the woman began to tremble. Al-Kifl asked, "What has happened to you?" The woman said, "This is an act which I have never done before." Al-Kifl said, "You are unable to commit this sin, while I have been doing it for such a long time! By God, I will never commit a sin again after today." Then, that very night, he passed away. When morning came, the people of Bani Israel began to say, "Who will perform the funeral prayer for so-and-so?" Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) states that it was found written on his door that Allah Almighty has forgiven Al-Kifl.
