[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and said, "Indeed, Allah does not become weary of forgiving a sin that is repented for. A man from those who were before you killed ninety-eight people and then came to a monk and said, 'I have killed ninety-eight people, can I repent?' The monk said, 'No, you have transgressed.' So he killed him and then came to another monk and said, 'I have killed ninety-nine people, can I repent?' The monk said, 'No, you have transgressed.' So he killed him as well. Then he came to another monk and said, 'I have killed one hundred people, can I repent?' The monk said, 'You have transgressed, and I do not know what to say. However, there are two towns, one called Nadra where they do the deeds of Paradise and none other than them will have a place in it, and the other called Kufra where they do the deeds of the people of Hellfire and none other than them will have a place in it. So, go to Nadra. If you can find them steadfast in their deeds and you do the same, then there is no doubt about your repentance.' So the man set out to find Nadra and do their deeds. But when he was between the two towns, death overtook him. The angels of mercy and the angels of torment disputed over him. Allah commanded them to measure the distance between the two towns and whichever town he was closer to, they should write him down as being one of its inhabitants. They found that he was closer to Nadra by the span of a palm kernel, so he was recorded among its inhabitants."
