Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God grants seven hours to repent to any believer who commits a sin. If he repents in that period, nothing will be recorded in his letter of deeds, but if he does not, then the sin will be recorded.”
وقال (عليه السلام): ما من عبد مؤمن يذنب إلا أجله الله سبع ساعات، فإن هو تاب لم يكتب عليه شئ، وإن لم يتب كتب الله عليه سيئة.
