The Hadith mentions the story of a man who killed 99 souls, then killed a monk to complete a hundred, and he was seeking repentance. He died on his way to the village of the righteous, so the angels of mercy and angels of torment disputed over him. The angels of mercy prevailed because he was closer to the righteous village by a handspan. This Hadith indicates that the killer went to the mercy of Allah and entered Paradise. As for the fate of the slain worshipper, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not clarify it, and inquiring about it is of no benefit.
