Shahih Muslim - 4968

Telah menceritakan kepadaku ['Ubaidullah bin Mu'adz Al 'Anbari] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Qatadah] bahwasanya ia mendengar [Abu Ash Shiddiq An Naji] dari [Abu Sa'id Al Khudri] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bahwasanya ada seorang laki-laki yang telah membunuh sembilan puluh sembilan orang, lalu ia bertanya apakah masih ada pintu taubat untuknya?" kemudian ia menemui seorang rahib dan bertanya kepadanya. Dia menjawab; 'Tidak ada pintu taubat untukmu.' Lalu ia membunuh rahib tersebut. Kemudian ia terus bertanya, hingga keluar dari desanya menuju desa yang lain yang di dalamnya terdapat orang-orang shalih. Namun ketika di tengah perjalanan, ajal menjemputnya. Ia pun meninggal dalam keadaan telungkup."Lalu Malaikat rahmat dan Malaikat azab saling berebut, setelah diukur jarak perjalanannya ternyata ia lebih dekat sejengkal dengan desa yang baik, maka ia pun digolongkan sebagai penghuni desa tersebut. Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basysyar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abu 'Adi] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Qatadah] dengan sanad ini seperti hadits Mu'adz bin Mu'adz di dalamnya ada tambahan; 'Maka Allah mewahyukan kepada desa ini untuk menjauh sedangkan ke desa yang satunya lagi diperintahkan agar mendekat.' (HR. Muslim: 4968)

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying that a man killed ninety-nine persons and then he began to make an inquiry whether there was any way left for him for repentance. He came to a monk and asked him about that, and he said: There is no chance for repentance for you. He killed the monk also and then began to make an inquiry and moved from one village to another village where there lived pious persons, and as he had covered some distance, he was overtaken by death, but he managed to crawl upon his chest (to the side nearer to the place where the pious men lived). He died and then there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment and (when it was measured) he was found to be nearer to the village where pious persons were living equal to the Space of a span and he was thus included among them. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatida with the same chain of transmitters but (with this variation of wording):" Allah commanded the earth (from where) he wanted to come out to move itself away and to the other earth (where he wanted to go) to draw nearer." (Muslim: 4968)
