Sahih al-Bukhari 4765 (Book 65, Hadith 287) #4548
The Mercy of Allah for Repenters

SUMMARY: Allah is merciful and forgiving to those who repent, believe, and do good deeds.

Narrated Sa'id bin Jubair: Ibn Abza said to me, "Ask Ibn 'Abbas regarding the Statement of Allah: 'And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell'. (4:69) And also His Statement: '.nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause .except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds'. " (25:68-70) So I asked Ibn 'Abbas and he said, "When this (25:68-69) was revealed, the people of Mecca said, "We have invoked other gods with Allah, and we have murdered such lives which Allah has made sacred, and we have committed illegal sexual intercourse. So Allah revealed: 'Except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful'. (25:70)
حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبْزَى سَلِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى ‏{‏وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ‏}‏ وَقَوْلِهِ ‏{‏لاَ يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ‏}‏ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ‏{‏إِلاَّ مَنْ تَابَ‏}‏ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ قَالَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فَقَدْ عَدَلْنَا بِاللَّهِ وَقَتَلْنَا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَتَيْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏إِلاَّ مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلاً صَالِحًا‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the mercy of Allah for those who repent from their sins. It was narrated by Sa'id bin Jubair that Ibn Abza asked him to ask Ibn 'Abbas about the verses in Surat An-Nisa and Surat Al-Furqan. In these verses, Allah mentions that whoever kills a believer intentionally will be punished in Hellfire. However, He also mentions that if someone repents from their sins, believes in Him and does good deeds then He will forgive them. This shows us how merciful Allah is towards those who turn back to Him with repentance and faith. He is willing to forgive us no matter what we have done as long as we are sincere in our repentance and strive to do good deeds afterwards.
