«كان في بني إسرائيل رجل قتل تسعة وتسعين إنسانا ثم خرج يسأل فأتى راهبا فسأله فقال له: ألي توبة؟ قال: لا فقتله فجعل يسأل فقال له رجل: ائت قرية كذا وكذا فأدركه الموت فنأى بصدره نحوها فاختصمت فيه ملائكة الرحمة وملائكة العذاب فأوحى الله إلى هذه: أن تقربي وأوحى الله إلى هذه: أن تباعدي وقال: قيسوا ما بينهما فوجداه إلى هذه أقرب بشبر فغفر له»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"There was a man among the Children of Israel who had killed ninety-nine people. Then he went out asking (about the way to repentance), and he came to a monk and asked him. He said: Is there repentance for me? The monk said: No. So he killed him as well. Then he kept on asking, and a man said to him: Go to such-and-such a town. Death overtook him on the way, and he inclined his chest towards that town. Then the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed about him. Allah Almighty revealed to this (town): Draw near, and revealed to that (town): Move away, and said: Measure the distance between the two places. They found him closer to this one (the town he was heading for) by a hand-span, so he was forgiven."
