It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that: The Prophet SAW said: "The slain will bring his killer on the Day of Resurrection with his forelock and his head in his hand, and with his jugular veins flowing with blood, and will say: 'O Lord, he killed me,' until he draws near to the Throne". They mentioned repentance to Ibn 'Abbas and he recited this Verse: "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell" He said: "It has not been abrogated since it was revealed; there is no way he could repent".
This hadith teaches us about how important it is for us to seek justice and stand up against injustice in our lives today so that we can receive recompense from Allah on the Day of Judgment if we are wronged or oppressed here on earth. It also reminds us not to take matters into our own hands when someone has wronged us but rather leave it up to Allah's judgment which is perfect and just.
