What the murdered person carries on that Day
Ibn Abbas was asked about repentance afterwards, and read a verse instead of answering.
يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ هَذَا قَتَلَنِي حَتَّى يُدْنِيَهُ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ
Yaqūlu yā rabbi hādhā qatalanī, ḥattā yudniyahu mina-l-ʿarsh
He will say: my Lord, this one killed me. Until he brings him right up to the Throne.
Where this comes from
The one who was killed arrives holding the one who killed him, his own head in his hand, his veins still running. He does not stop at the edge. He walks the man all the way to the Throne. When people raised repentance with Ibn Abbas he recited the verse about killing a believer deliberately and said it was never abrogated.
The full narration
Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar:from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "On the Day of Judgement, the murdered will come with the murderer's scalp and his head in his hand, and his jugular vein flowing blood saying: 'O Lord! This one killed me!' Until he comes close to the Throne." So they mentioned repentance to Ibn 'Abbas, and he recited this Ayah: And whoever kills a believer intentionally then his recompense is Hell (4:93). He said: "This Ayah was not abrogated nor (its ruling) replaced so from where is his repentance?
