4070. It was narrated from Safwân bin 'Assâl that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Towards the west (i.e., the place of the setting of the sun) there is an open door, seventy years wide. That door will remain open for repentance until the sun rises from this direction. When it rises from this direction, faith will not benefit any soul that did not believe before or earn anything good through its faith." (Sahih)
4070 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ بَابًا مَفْتُوحًا، عَرْضُهُ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً، فَلَا يَزَالُ ذَلِكَ الْبَابُ مَفْتُوحًا لِلتَّوْبَةِ، حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ نَحْوِهِ، فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ مِنْ نَحْوِهِ، لَمْ يَنْفَعْ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا، لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ، أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا» بَابُ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَالِ، وَخُرُوجِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ، وَخُرُوجِ يَأْجُوجَ، وَمَأْجُوجَ

Accepting repentance is one of the attributes of Allāh, and the open door is a physical indication for this matter. The door of repentance is among the unseen matters which must be believed without seeing them, as we believe in Paradise and Hell. The system of universe is in the Hands of Allāh, He can change all of the system and the laws of nature whenever He likes.
