Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): “God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one year before he dies.” Then he said
“One year is too long. God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one month before he dies.” Then he added: “One month is too long. God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one week before he dies. “Then he said: “One week is too long. God shall accept the repentance of whoever repents one day before he dies.” Then he said: “One day is too long. God will accept the repentance of whoever repents before he faces death.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من تاب قبل موته بسنة قبل الله توبته، ثم قال: إن سنة لكثير، من تاب قبل موته بشهر قبل الله توبته، ثم قال: إن الشهر لكثير، من تاب قبل موته بجمعة قبل الله توبته، ثم قال: إن جمعة لكثير، من تاب قبل موته بيوم قبل الله توبته، ثم قال: إن يوما لكثير، من تاب قبل أن يعاين قبل الله توبته.
