Hadith 350
۞
Hadith.351 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) said in his last sermon:
"Whoever repents a year before his death, Allah (swt) will accept his repentance."
Then He (sw) said: "A year is a long time; whoever repents a month before their death, Allah (swt) will accept their repentance."
Then He (sw) said: "A month is a long time; whoever repents a week before their death, Allah (swt) will accept their repentance."
Then He (sw) said: "A week is a long time; whoever repents a day before their death, Allah (swt) will accept their repentance."
Then He (sw) said: "A day is a long time; whoever repents an hour before their death, Allah (swt) will accept their repentance."
Then He (sw) said: “An hour is a long time; whoever repents before their soul reaches here" — and he pointed to his throat — "Allah (swt) will accept their repentance”.
