عَنْ مَطَرِ بْنِ عُكَامِسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ مَيْتَةَ عَبْدٍ بِأَرْضٍ جَعَلَ لَهُ إِلَيْهَا حَاجَةً))
Sayyiduna Matr bin Akamas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty intends to cause the death of a servant in a certain region, He creates a need for him towards that region (and through that pretext, he reaches there).
