636 إن اللهَ -عَزّ وَجَلَّ- يَقْبَل تَوْبَةَ العَبْدِ مَا لَم يُغَرغِر
Allah, Blessed and Exalted, accepts the slave's repentance as long as the death rattle has not yet reached his throat

عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إن الله عز وجل يقبل تَوْبَةَ العَبْدِ ما لم يُغَرْغِرْ».

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, accepts the slave's repentance as long as his death rattle has not yet reached his throat."

حسن - ( رواه الترمذي وابن ماجه وأحمد ). Hasan/Sound. [Ibn Maajah]

الله عز وجل يقبل توبة العبد ما لم تصل الروحُ الحلقومَ، فإذا وصلت الروحُ الحلقومَ فلا توبة، ولقوله تعالى : {وَلَيْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ حَتَّى إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ إِنِّي تُبْتُ الْآن}، [النساء: 18].
Allah, Blessed and Exalted, accepts the slave's repentance as long as his soul has not yet reached his throat. When it reaches the throat, no repentance is accepted because Allah, the Almighty, says (what means): {But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says: "Indeed, I have repented now."} [Sūrat An-Nisā': 18]

من شروط التوبة أن تقع من المكلف قبل أن يصل إلى حالة لا تمكنُ الحياة بعدها عادة. لا تقبل التوبة في حالة الغرغرة.
