Hazrat Salim bin Abu Ja’d narrates that a man came to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: O Abu Abbas! What is your opinion about a person who has committed murder intentionally? What is his punishment? He recited this verse: Translation: Its recompense is Hell, he will abide therein forever, and upon him is the wrath of Allah. The man asked: What is your opinion if he repents, believes, and does righteous deeds, then receives guidance? He replied: Where can his repentance be accepted? May your mother lose you! Surely, the murdered person will come on the Day of Resurrection holding his head, and blood will be flowing from his veins, until he stands by the Throne and says: O Lord! Ask him why he killed me?
