It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) related: "A man killed ninety-nine people, then he came asking whether there was any repentance for him. He went to a monk and asked him, and he said: There is no repentance for you. So he killed the monk too. Then he kept asking, then he set out from one town towards a town in which righteous people lived. While he was on the way, death overtook him; he pushed his chest forward (towards the righteous town) and died. The angels of mercy and the angels of punishment gathered (over him), and he turned out to be closer to the righteous town by one hand-span, so he was counted among its people."
