The great scholar, Fudayl ibn Iyad used to be a highway robber and thief before he was a scholar. Once while he was climbing someones wall to get inside their home, and he heard a man reciting the ayah, Has the time not come for the believers that their hearts submit to the remembrance of Allah? He thought, Indeed, the time has come. He climbed back down and retreated to an abandoned building. Upon entering he heard some travelers saying, We will wait till morning to depart or Fudayl will be lying in wait on the road to rob us. Upon hearing this, Fudayl ibn Iyad turned in repentance to Allah and promised to move to Makkah and become a better Muslim. He stayed there until he passed away. May Allah have mercy on him.
