حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ سُئِلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا ثُمَّ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الْهُدَى سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَجِيءُ الْمَقْتُولُ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِالْقَاتِلِ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ سَلْ هَذَا فِيمَ قَتَلَنِي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا نَسَخَهَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْزَلَهَا قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الْهُدَى
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1941
It was narrated from Salim that Ibn 'Abbas was asked about a man who killed a believer, then he repented and believed and did righteous deeds, then followed true guidance. He said: Woe to you, how could he follow true guidance? I heard your Prophet (PBUH) say: "The slain one will come, holding on to his killer, saying: 'O Lord, ask this one why he killed me" By Allah, Allah revealed it to your Prophet (PBUH) and He did not abrogate it after He revealed it. Woe to you, how can he follow true guidance?
