٣٦٩٣٠ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن أبي سنان عن يعقوب بن (سفيان) (١) (اليشكري) (٢) عن عبد اللَّه بن مسعود قال: أتاه رجل قد ألم بذنب فسأله عنه فلهى عنه، [وأقبل على القوم (يحدثهم) (٣) فحانت (إليه) (٤) نظرة من عبد اللَّه فإذا عين ⦗٢١٥⦘ الرجل تهراق، فقال: هذا (أوان همك) (٥) ما جئت تسألني عنه] (٦)، إن للجنة سبعة أبواب كلها يفتح ويغلق غير باب التوبة، موكل به ملك فاعمل ولا تيأس (٧).
A man came to Hazrat Ibn Masood complaining about his sins and asked him regarding them. Hazrat Ibn Masood did not pay attention to him and turned towards the people, engaging in conversation with them. When Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) noticed him, he saw that the man was crying. Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "The purpose for which you have come, now its time has arrived. Paradise has seven doors, each of which opens and closes, except for the door of repentance. There is an angel appointed over it. So keep doing good deeds and do not despair."
