(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ :
إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَّا يُقَالُ لَهُ :
أَيُّوبُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ عَامًا تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَمَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ " ، حَتَّى قَالَ : " يَوْمًا " حَتَّى قَالَ : " سَاعَةً " ، حَتَّى قَالَ : " فُوَاقًا " ، قَالَ : قَالَ الرَّجُلُ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ مُشْرِكًا أَسْلَمَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ كَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that whoever repents one year before his death, his repentance will be accepted. Whoever repents one month before, his repentance will also be accepted. Even if he repents one day before, or one hour before, or before the death rattle, that repentance will also be accepted. A man asked, "Tell me, if a polytheist accepts Islam at that time, what is the ruling?" He replied, "I have narrated the hadith to you exactly as I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say it."
