Ibn taimiah repented before his death
This is from the book "durar al-kaminah " by sheikh ibn hajar al-asqalani(rah):
ولم يزل ابن تيمية في الجب إلى أن شفع فيه مهنا أمير آل فضل فأخرج في ربيع الأول في الثالث وعشرين منه وأحضر إلى القلعة ووقع البحث مع بعض الفقهاء فكتب عليه محضر بأنه قال أنا أشعري ثم وجد خطه بما نصه الذي اعتقد أن القرآن معنى قائم بذات الله وهو صفة من صفات ذاته القديمة وهو غير مخلوق وليس بحرف ولا صوت وأن قوله { الرحمن على العرش استوى } ليس على ظاهره ولا أعلم كنه المراد به بل لا يعلمه إلا الله والقول في النزول كالقول في الاستواء وكتبه أحمد بن تيمية ثم أشهدوا عليه أنه تاب مما ينافي ذلك مختارا وذلك
(1/172)
في خامس عشري ربيع الأول سنة 707 وشهد عليه بذلك جمع جم من العلماء وغيرهم وسكن الحال وأفرج عنه وسكن القاهرة
It says : and ibn taimiah stayed in the well until "muhanna" the prince of "bani fadhl" interceded in his favor so he was released in the month of "rabi al-awal" on the 23rd day of it and he was taken to the fortress and there was a quest with some scholars (fuqaha) and a written statement was recorded that he (ibn taimiah) said : i am an ash'ari then a statement with his own handwriting was found where he said : i believe that the quran is a meaning established in the "dhaat" of allah and it is one of its old attributes of the "dhaat" of Allah and it's not created and not a letter or a voice. and that allah's saying : "The Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne" should not be interpreted according to appearance and i don't know its exact meaning and allah alone knows it and the view about descending is like that of establishment (upon the throne he means) then ibn taimiah wrote it and and they testified upon him that hbe repented from what contradicts this on the 15th of "rabi al-awal" 707 hijri and a big number of scholars were witnesses...
So even the spiritual leader of salafis repented and if he didn't then isn't this taqyyah ? anyway ibn taimiah was never imprisoned for such beliefs afterwards but was imprisoned for other fiqhi reasons .
