"A man from among the Ansar accepted Islam, then he apostatized and went back to Shirk. Then he regretted that, and sent word to his people (saying): 'Ask the Messenger of Allah [SAW], is there any repentance for me?' His people came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and said: 'So and so regrets (what he did), and he has told us to ask you if there is any repentance for him?' Then the Verses: 'How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their Belief up to His saying: Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful' was revealed. So he sent word to him, and he accepted Islam."  

كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ ارْتَدَّ وَلَحِقَ بِالشِّرْكِ ثُمَّ تَنَدَّمَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ سَلُوا لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ فَجَاءَ قَوْمُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ فُلاَنًا قَدْ نَدِمَ وَإِنَّهُ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْأَلَكَ هَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ فَنَزَلَتْ { كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ } إِلَى قَوْلِهِ { غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ } فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ  

[Machine] "There was a man from the Ansar who accepted Islam, then he apostatized and followed disbelief. Then he regretted his actions and sent a message to his people asking them to inquire from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if he could still repent. Allah revealed the verses from Surah Al Imran, starting from 'How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them...' (3:86) until 'Except for those who repent after that and correct themselves. For indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful' (3:89). His people then approached him and he accepted Islam."
