An-Nisa' · Ayah 18 · Juz 4 · Page 80

وَلَيۡسَتِ ٱلتَّوۡبَةُ لِلَّذِينَ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ قَالَ إِنِّي تُبۡتُ ٱلۡـَٰٔنَ وَلَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَمُوتُونَ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٌۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا ١٨

Wa laysatit-tawbatu lil-ladhīna yaʿmalūnas-sayyiʾāti ḥattā idhā ḥaḍara aḥadahumul-mawtu qāla innī tubtul-āna wa lal-ladhīna yamūtūna wa hum kuffār, ulāʾika aʿtadnā lahum ʿadhāban alīmā.

But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.
