"مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّئات ثم يعْمَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ، كَمَثل رجُلٍ علَيهِ دِرعٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ قَدْ خَنَقَتْهُ، فَكُلَّما عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً انْقَضَتْ حَلَقَةٌ ثُمَّ أُخْرَى، حتى يخْرُجَ إِلى الأَرْضِ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, the example of one who does evil deeds and then does good deeds is like the example of a man who was wearing a tight chainmail that was choking him. Then he did a good deed, and one of the rings of the chainmail broke. Then he did another good deed, and another ring broke. And so on, until he is set free on the earth."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ قَدْ خَنَقَتْهُ ثُمَّ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَانْفَكَّتْ حَلْقَةٌ ثُمَّ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً أُخْرَى فَانْفَكَّتْ حَلْقَةٌ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ
[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The example of one who does evil deeds and then does good deeds is like a person who had a tight ring around his neck that choked him, but then he did a good deed and one ring was opened, and then he did another good deed and another ring was opened, until he is set free on the Earth."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ قَدْ خَنَقَتْهُ ثُمَّ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَانْفَكَّتْ حَلْقَةٌ ثُمَّ عَمِلَ أُخْرَى فَانْفَكَّتْ حَلْقَةٌ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The example of one who does evil deeds and then does good deeds is like a man wearing a tight-fitting coat which is choking him. Whenever he does a good deed, a link in it unravels until he reaches the earth (i.e., he is choked to death)."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مثَلُ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ عَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ قَدْ خَنَقَتْهُ فَكُلَّمَا عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً انْتَقَضَ حَلْقَةً ثُمَّ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ»
"إِنَّ مَثَلَ الَّذِى يَعْمَلُ السَّيِّئَات ثم يَعْمَلُ الحسناتَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُل كانت عَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ ضِيِّقةٌ قد خَنَقَتْهُ، ثُمَّ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَانْفَكَّتْ حَلْقَةٌ ثم عمل أُخْرَى فَانْفَكَّتْ الأُخرى حتى يخرجَ إِلى الأرض".
