Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the nations before you there was a man who had killed ninety-nine (99) people. Having asked people, he came to a monk and said: I have killed ninety-nine (99) people; can my repentance be accepted? The monk said: No. So he killed him too and completed one hundred killings. Then he asked people about a good scholar, and they told him. That man came to the scholar and asked: I have killed one hundred (100) people; can my repentance be accepted? He replied: Yes. Do this: go to such-and-such a land, where righteous people live, and worship along with them; do not come back here, for this is a land of trials. The man set out, and he had covered only half of the way when death overtook him. The angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed over him. The angels of mercy said: He set out repenting to Allah with his heart. The angels of punishment said: He never did any good deed at all. An angel came in the form of a man and said: Measure the land; whichever side is closer, let them take him. The land was measured and he was found closer to the land he intended, so the decision went in favour of the angels of mercy, and they took him."
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It was mentioned to us that when death came to him, he pushed himself forward with his chest.
