Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may He bless you and your knowledge. This questioner asks: What is the meaning of the hadith
God laughs at the two men one of whom kills the other; both of them will enter Paradise.يضحك الله لرجلين يقتل أحدهما الآخر كلاهما يدخل الجنة
Sahih Muslim 1890c


Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained its meaning. A disbeliever kills a Muslim, then Allah bestows a favor upon the disbeliever, and he embraces Islam after that, after the killing. Both the killer and the one killed enter Paradise: the killer who embraced Islam and repented to Allah the Exalted, and the Muslim who was killed.
