Hadith Number: 7854
اخبرنا ابو عبد الله محمد بن يعقوب الشيباني، حدثنا محمد بن عبد الوهاب، اخبرنا جعفر بن عون، اخبرنا هشام بن سعد، حدثنا زيد بن اسلم، عن عبد الرحمن بن البيلماني قال: سمعت رجلا من اصحاب رسول الله ﷺ يقول: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول:"من تاب إلى الله قبل ان يموت [بيوم] (1) قبل الله منه". قال: فحدثت بذلك رجلا آخر من اصحاب رسول الله ﷺ، قال: انت سمعت ذلك؟ قلت: نعم، قال: اشهد لسمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول:"من تاب إلى الله قبل ان يموت بنصف يوم، قبل الله منه". قال: فحدثت بذلك رجلا من اصحاب رسول الله ﷺ، فقال: انت سمعته؟ قال: قلت: نعم، فقال: اشهد لسمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول:"من تاب إلى الله قبل ان يموت بضحوة، قبل الله منه". قال: فحدثت بذلك رجلا آخر من اصحاب رسول الله ﷺ، فقال: انت سمعت ذلك؟ قلت: نعم، قال: فاشهد لسمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول:"من تاب إلى الله قبل ان يغرغر، قبل الله منه" (2). هكذا رواه عبد العزيز بن محمد الدراوردي عن زيد بن اسلم:
Abd al-Rahman bin al-Baylamani says: I heard a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever repents to Allah even one day before he dies, Allah will accept his repentance." He said: Then I mentioned this to another Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he asked: Did you hear this yourself? I said: Yes. He said: I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever repents half a day before he dies, Allah will accept his repentance." The narrator says: Then I mentioned this to yet another Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he asked: Did you hear this? I said: Yes. He said: I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever repents a forenoon's span (dahwah) before he dies, Allah will accept his repentance." The narrator says: Then I mentioned this to yet another Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he asked: Did you hear this? I said: Yes. He said: I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever repents before the gurgling (the death rattle) begins, Allah will accept his repentance."

Note / Clarification: This addition is taken from "Shu'ab al-Iman", where he (al-Bayhaqi) narrated it from the author (al-Hakim).
(1) زيادة من "شعب الإيمان" حيث رواه عن المصنّف.
Grading: Its chain is da'if.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The reason for its weakness is the weakness of Abd al-Rahman bin al-Baylamani. Salih Jazarah says that his hearing from any Companion is not established except from "Surraq". Also, Hisham bin Sa'd al-Madani is not very strong, though he has been corroborated.
Important point: The acceptance of repentance before the soul reaches the throat (ghargharah) is authentically established by the earlier hadith of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

(2) إسناده ضعيف لضعف عبد الرحمن بن البيلماني، ومع ضعفه نفى صالح جزرة سماعه من أحد من الصحابة غير سُرَّق، وهشام بن سعد - وهو المدني - ليس بالقوي، لكنه توبع. وتوبة العبد قبل الغرغرة صحَّت من حديث ابن عمر السالف قبل حديث.
