English translation
4004. It was narrated from Sâlim bin Abî Ja’d that Ibn ‘Abbâs was asked about someone who killed a believer deliberately, then he repented, believed and did righteous deeds, and followed true guidance. Ibn ‘Abbâs said: “There is no way the repentance could avail him! I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘He (the victim) will come hanging onto his killer, with his jugular veins flowing with blood and saying: O Lord, ask him why he killed me. Then he said: By Allâh, Allâh revealed it and never abrogated anything of it.’” (Sahīh)
