He stated in a hadîth: “Musawwifs have perished.” That is, those who put off tawba by saying, “I will make tawba later on,” have suffered a loss. Loqman Hakîm ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ was a Walî or a Prophet. He advised his son by saying: “Sonny, do not put off tawba until tomorrow. For, death catches one abruptly.” Imâm-i Mujâhid says: “The person who does not say tawba every morning and every evening torments himself.”
