Sunan Ibn Majah 191 (Book) #37093
Forgiveness Through Repentance and Fighting for Allah

SUMMARY: Allah will forgive and reward those who repent and fight in His cause, even if they had killed someone else before.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah will laugh at two persons- one of them kills the other, and both of them enter Paradise, for the first one fought in the cause of Allah and was martyred, then his killer repented to Allah and became Muslim, then he also fought in the cause of Allah and was martyred'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَضْحَكُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ كِلاَهُمَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى قَاتِلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُ فَيُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ

This hadith tells us that Allah is merciful and forgiving. Even if someone has committed a sin, such as killing another person, they can still be forgiven by Allah if they repent sincerely and fight in the cause of Allah. The reward for this repentance is that both the killer and the one killed will enter Paradise together. This shows us how powerful repentance is, as it can erase even the most serious of sins. It also teaches us to strive to do good deeds in order to gain forgiveness from Allah.
