Yahya: From Sufyan al-Thawri, from Asim al-Ahwal, from al-Sha'bi, who said: 'The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin.' (1) His saying: 'Their light will run before them,' meaning it will lead them to Paradise, 'and on their right hands' — their records are their glad tidings of Paradise — 'they will say: Our Lord, perfect for us our light.' Mujahid said: They will say it when the light of the hypocrites is extinguished.
يَحْيَى: عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنِ الشِّعْبِيِّ قَالَ: ((التَّائِبُ مِنَ الذَّنْب كَمَنْ لَا ذَنْبَ لَهُ)) (١) قَوْلُهُ: ﴿نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَين أَيْديهم﴾ أَيْ يَقُودُهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ﴿وَبِأَيْمَانِهِمْ﴾ كُتُبُهُمْ هِيَ بُشْراهم بِالْجَنَّةِ ﴿يَقُولُونَ رَبنَا أتمم لنا نورنا﴾ قَالَ مُجاهد: يَقُولُونَهُ حِينَ يُطفأ نور الْمُنَافِقين.
