God even accepts the repentance of a disbelieving murderer

BUKHARI 2826: from Abū Hurayrah —
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah welcomes two men with a smile; one of whom kills the other and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in Allah's Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the 'killer who also get martyred (In Allah's Cause)."

البخاري ٢٨٢٦: عن ابو هريره —
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «يَضْحَكُ اللَّهُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ يَدْخُلاَنِ الْجَنَّةَ: يُقَاتِلُ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْقَاتِلِ فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ.»
