It is narrated from Hazrat Malik that it was written in the Zabur: I am Allah, there is no deity except Me, I am the King of all kings, the hearts of all kings are in My control. So, when a nation does good deeds, I appoint a kind king over them, and when a nation disobeys Me, I make the kings a trial for them. Do not occupy yourselves with speaking ill of the kings, nor turn towards them; turn towards Me and repent, and I will make them merciful to you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that in the previous nations before you, there was a man among a people of disbelievers, and among them were some righteous people as well. That man said: "I will surely go to that righteous town so that I may also become one of the righteous." He set out to go to that town, but death overtook him. Regarding him, there was a dispute between an angel and Satan; one said, "I am more deserving of him," and the other said, "I am more deserving of him." Allah Almighty decided between them through some of His armies. He said to them, "Measure the distance between the two towns; whichever town he is closer to, he will be counted among them." They measured the distance and found him closer to the town of the righteous, so he was counted among them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man killed ninety-nine people, then he thought of repenting. He inquired about a scholar, and he was informed about a scholar. He went to that scholar and said, "I have killed ninety-nine people, can I repent?" The scholar said, "Repentance after ninety-nine murders?" So the man drew his sword and killed him as well, thus completing one hundred. Then he again thought of repenting and inquired about a scholar. He was told about a scholar, so he went to that scholar and said, "I have killed one hundred people, can I repent?" The scholar said to him, "Leave the town in which you are and go to the town of the righteous; go to such-and-such town and worship your Lord there." So the man set out for that town, and on the way, the time of his death came. The angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed over him. Iblis said, "I have more right to him because he never disobeyed me for even a moment." The angels of mercy said, "He set out with the intention of repentance." Allah sent another angel, and they took their dispute to him. That angel said, "Measure the distance between the two towns; whichever town he is closer to, count him among its people." When the man realized his death was near, he dragged himself towards the town of the righteous. Allah made him closer to the town of the righteous and distanced him from the town of the wicked, so he was counted among the people of the righteous.

36936 - He said: Hammad narrated to me from Humayd al-Tawil from Bakr ibn Abd Allah al-Muzani from Abu Rafi who said: (So Allah sent) (1) an angel to him and they disputed before him (2). - Then he returned to the narration of Qatadah and said: Look to see which of the two towns was closer to him, and count him among its people.

36937 - He said: Al-Hasan narrated to me, he said: (When) (1) death became apparent to him, he drew himself together, so Allah brought the righteous village closer to him and distanced from him the wicked village, and thus joined him with the people of the righteous village (3).

Hazrat Safwan narrates that I was holding the hand of Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) when a person came to him and asked, "What have you heard from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم regarding al-Najwa?" Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "I heard from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم that: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will bring the believer close, so much so that He will place His hand of mercy upon him and will conceal him from the people. Then Allah Almighty will say, 'O servant! Do you know about such and such sins?' He will reply, 'Yes, my Lord.' Then Allah Almighty will say the same, and the servant will confess, until when he has confessed his sins and becomes certain that he is doomed, Allah Almighty will say, 'I had concealed them for you in the world, and today I have forgiven them for you.' Then he will be given the record of his good deeds. As for the disbelievers and hypocrites, the witnesses will say about them that { ہَؤُلاَئِ الَّذِینَ کَذَبُوا عَلَی رَبِّہِمْ، أَلاَ لَعَنَۃُ اللہِ عَلَی الظَّالِمِینَ }."

Hazrat Aun says: He will be informed that forgiveness was granted even before the sin.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man set out from his town to another town with the intention of visiting his brother. Allah appointed an angel for him on the way. The angel asked him, "Where are you intending to go?" The man replied, "I have a brother in that town; I am going to visit him for the sake of Allah." The angel asked, "Is there any favor of his upon you which you are seeking to repay?" The man replied, "No, rather I love him for the sake of Allah, the Exalted." The angel said, "Listen, I am a messenger of Allah to you. Verily, Allah loves you as you love your brother for His sake."

It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Aamir that a person's sins will be presented before him, and he will pass with the burden of his sins. Then Allah Almighty will say to him, "I was very merciful to you," and then Allah will forgive his sins.

Hazrat Ata bin Yasar says that on the Day of Judgment, the hopeless people will be held back, and people will pass by trampling over their necks.
