Basic HTML Version
his repentance to be accepted. He replied in the affirmative and asked, `Who stands between you and repentance?
Go to such and such land; there (you will find) people devoted to prayer and worship of Allah, join them in worship,
and do not come back to your land because it is an evil place.' So he went away and hardly had he covered half the
distance when death overtook him; and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of torment.
The angels of mercy pleaded, 'This man has come with a repenting heart to Allah,' and the angels of punishment
argued, 'He never did a virtuous deed in his life.' Then there appeared another angel in the form of a human being
and the contending angels agreed to make him arbiter between them. He said, `Measure the distance between the
two lands. He will be considered belonging to the land to which he is nearer.' They measured and found him closer
to the land (land of piety) where he intended to go, and so the angels of mercy collected his soul".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In another version:
"He was found to be nearer to the locality of the pious by a cubit and was thus included among
them".
Another version says:
"Allah commanded (the land which he wanted to leave) to move away and
commanded the other land (his destination) to draw nearer and then He said: "Now measure the distance between
them.' It was found that he was nearer to his goal by a hand's span and was thus forgiven".
It is also narrated that he
drew closer by a slight movement on his chest
.
Commentary:
1. One comes to know from this Hadith that the gate of Taubah is open even for the worst of the sinners; and Allah
forgives everyone provided he repents sincerely, the conditions for such repentance have already been discussed.
2. It is the duty of a religious scholar that while discussing a problem, he should keep in mind the psychological
aspects of the questioner and adopt a policy which neither causes a change in the Injunction of Allah nor make the
sinner reckless in his sins out of frustration.
3. When a situation warrants, angels appear in the form of men on Orders of Allah.
