w.a.) said: 'Surely Allah accepts repentance of His servant, or forgives His servant, until the curtain comes down.' It was asked: 'And what is the coming down of curtain?' He said: 'The soul goes out while a polytheist.' " Ibn Jarir has narrated from al-Hasan that he said: " [A report] has come to me that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said: 'Verily Iblis said when he found that Adam had cavity [in his body]: "By Thy honor!

I will not leave his cavity as long as there was soul inside him." Then Allah, the Blessed, the High, said: "By My honor! I will not come between him and repentance as long as there was soul inside him." ' " (ad-Durru 'l-manthur) 'Ali al-Ahmasi has narrated from Abu Ja'far (a.s.) that he said: "By Allah!

None gets deliverance from sins except he who confesses them." Also he has narrated from the same Imam (a.s.): "Enough is remorse for repentance." (al-Kafi) It is narrated in al-Kafi through two chains from Ibn Wahb that he said: "I heard Abu 'Abdillah (a.s.) saying: 'When the servant repents, a sincere repenting, Allah loves him and covers him.' I said: 'And how does He cover him?' He said: 'He makes his two angels forget what they had written against him; then He inspires his limbs and the areas of the earth to conceal his sins.

Thus he meets Allah - when he meets Him - and there is nothing to give evidence against him concerning his sins.' " Muhammad ibn Muslim has narrated from Abu Ja'far (a.s.) that he said: "O Muhammad ibn Muslim! sins of the believer are forgiven to him when he repents from them. Therefore, the believer should perform his deeds afresh after repentance and forgiveness. But, by Allah!

it is not but for the people of faith." "I said: (But what if he relapses into sins after repentance and forgiveness, and then repents again?' He said: 'O Muhammad ibn Muslim!

do you think that a believer servant feels remorse for his sin and asks forgiveness from Allah for it and repents and then Allah will not accept his repentance?' I said: 'Then if he does so repeatedly; commits sin and repents and asks forgiveness?' Then he said: 'Whenever the believer returns asking for forgiveness and repenting, Allah the High, returns to him with forgiveness; and surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful; He accepts repentance and pardons the evils.
