2. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who repents a year before his death, Allah will forgive him.” Then he said, “A year is too much; Allah will forgive even one who repents a month before his death.” Then he said, “A month is also too much, Allah will forgive even one who repents a day before his death. Then he said, “A day is also too much, Allah will forgive even one who repents just a moment before death.”
