Save those who repent of hypocrisy and make amends in their deeds and hold fast to put their trust in God and make their religion purely God’s free from any pretence; those are with the believers in terms of what they shall be given; and God will certainly give the believers a great wage in the Hereafter and that is Paradise.

Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a believing man. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Sunan an-Nasa'i #4882It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

"No one who commits Zina is a believer at the moment when he is committing Zina; no one who steals is a believer at the moment when he is stealing; no one who drinks wine is a believer at the moment when he is drinking it." - And he mentioned a fourth but I (the narrator) have forgotten it - "When he does that the yoke of Islam is shed from his neck, but if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance."

Sahih Muslim #114It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira:Sahih

A fornicator who fornicates is not a believer as long as he commits fornication, and no one who steals is a believer as long as he commits theft, and no one who drinks wine is a believer as long as he drinks it, and repentance may be accepted after that.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #3674Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Hasan

“No worshipper has ever said: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah (Lā ilāha illallāh)’ sincerely, except that the gates of heaven are opened for it, until it reaches to the Throne, so long as he avoids the major sins.”

Sunan Ibn Majah #2272It was narrated from Bahz bin Hakim, from his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Da'if

“Allah (SWT) will not accept any good deed from a polytheist who committed polytheism after having become Muslim, until he leaves the polytheists and joins the Muslims.”
