Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: When al-Tufayl ibn Amr al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him) migrated to the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah, he migrated with him, and a man from his people migrated with him. The man fell ill and became impatient, took his arrows, and cut his knuckles with them. His hands bled until he died. Al-Tufayl ibn Amr saw him in a dream, his appearance good but his hands covered. He said to him: What did your Lord do with you? He said: He forgave me due to my migration to His Prophet (ﷺ). He said: Why do I see you covering your hands? He said: It was said to me: We will not mend what you ruined. Al-Tufayl related this to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said: O Allah, forgive his hands as well.

Note 1
(1) His statement: “O Allah, forgive his hands as well”: Al-Turbashti said: Although this Hadith mentions a dream seen by a companion for reflection on its interpretation, the Prophet’s (ﷺ) statement, “O Allah, forgive his hands as well,” is among the narrations we mentioned indicating that eternity does not apply to one who utters the testimony of faith, even if he kills himself. For the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed for forgiveness for the one who harmed himself, and it is not permissible for him to seek forgiveness for one destined for eternal punishment, as he was prohibited from doing so. So it is in (Al-Mirqat).

(١)قوله: اللهم وليديه فاغفر: قال التوربشتي: هذا الحديث وإن كان فيه ذكر رؤيا أريها الصحابي للاعتبار بما يؤولتعبيره، فإن قول النبي ﷺ: (اللهم وليديه فاغفر) من جملة ما ذكرنا من الأحاديث الدالَّة على أن الخلود غير واقع فيحق من أتى بالشهادتين، وإن قتل نفسه؛ لأن نبي اللهﷺ دعا للجاني على نفسه بالمغفرة، ولا يجوز في حقه أنيستغفر لمن وجب عليه الخلود بعد أن نهى عنه، كذا في (المرقاة)
