Is the repentance of one who has repeatedly committed adultery and then offered sincere repentance accepted? And is the Hadith, "Whoever commits adultery with a married woman, upon him and her in the grave is half the torment of this nation. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will judge her husband concerning his good deeds," authentic? And what should he do, other than repentance and remorse, so that his good deeds are not credited to the husband of the woman with whom he committed adultery?

Adultery is one of the gravest sins that incurs Allah's wrath and punishment, unless the perpetrator repents with sincere repentance, in which case Allah forgives him.
Repentance entails ceasing the sin, regretting having committed it, and resolving never to return to it. It is not a condition for the validity of repentance from adultery to seek the forgiveness of the husband of the woman with whom one committed adultery.
