عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِعِمَّا لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَتَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ بِحُسْنِ عِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ وَبِطَاعَةِ سَيِّدِهِ نِعِمَّا لَهُ وَنِعِمَّا لَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How excellent is that slave for whom Allah causes death while he is worshipping his Lord and obeying his master in a good manner; this is the best thing for him, rather, it is very excellent.
