[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an invitation to Wahshi, who had killed Hamza, to embrace Islam. So he sent a message to him, saying, "O Muhammad, how can you invite me to your religion while claiming that those who kill, commit shirk, or commit adultery will face multiplied punishment on the Day of Judgment and be humiliated forever? And I have done all of that. So can you find any concession for me?" Then Allah ﷻ revealed: "Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous deeds; for them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." Wahshi said, "O Muhammad, this is a severe condition. Except for those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds. Perhaps I am not capable of that." Then Allah ﷻ revealed: "Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills." Wahshi said, "O Muhammad, I see doubt after the will. I do not know if I will be forgiven or not. Is there anything else?" Then Allah ﷻ revealed: "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." Wahshi said, "This is enough." So he came and embraced Islam. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about us if we have faced what Wahshi faced?" He said, "It is for all Muslims in general."
