"I heard the Prophet ﷺ narrating a hadith, not just once or twice, even seven times, but I heard him saying it more than that. I heard him saying: 'There was a man called Al-Kifl among the children of Isra'il who did not restrain himself from committing sins. A woman came to him and he gave her sixty Dinar so he could sleep with her. When he sat up from her, as a man sits up from a woman, she began to tremble and cry, so he said: "Why are you crying, did I do something to harm you?" She said: "No. But it is because of what I did, I only did so out of need." He said: "You did this without having done (it before), so leave me, and it (the money) is for you." And then he said: "By Allah! I will never disobey Allah after that." He died during the night and morning came with: " Indeed Allah has forgiven Al-Kifl" written upon his door."

[Machine] "I heard the Prophet ﷺ say more than twenty times, 'Dhul-Kifl, from the Children of Israel, did not hesitate about anything, so he desired a woman and fell into a sin with her. He gave her sixty dinars. When he left her, she cried and repented. Dhul-Kifl regretted his actions and died that same night. In the morning, they found a note on his door saying, 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven you.'"
