Imam Ibn al-Mulaqqin commented, “Allah judges His servants in good and evil, such that He forgives unbelief and its deeds by the word of Truth said by the servant at his death before seeing the angels of punishment. Likewise, He nullifies the deeds of the believer if they seal their life with unbelief.”
