Hadith.352 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about the words of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious: "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 repent now’." (Surah An Nisa 4:18). Imam (as) said: "That is when they witness the realities of the Hereafter."
