Mishkat al-Masabih 2343

Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Allah accepts a servant’s repentance till he gives up his spirit in death.”* *The Arabic is ma lam yugharghir, which might, be translated literally "as long as he has not died with the death rattle in his throat." Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
