141 — ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to me; Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl narrated, from Muḥammad ibn al-Sāʾib, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Ibn ʿAbbās, concerning the divine statement: “They commit evil in ignorance” (Qur’an 4:17). He said: “A person’s commission of sin comes from his ignorance.” And regarding the words, “then they repent soon afterwards” (Qur’an 4:17), he said: “It means repentance that occurs before death, while one is still in good health.”
