حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ , حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ , حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ , عَنْ ثَابِتٍ , عَنْ أَنَسٍ , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَى شَابٍّ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ , فَقَالَ : " كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ " , قَالَ : أَرْجُو اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَأَخَافُ ذُنُوبِي , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ , إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا يَرْجُو, وَآمَنَهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ " .
´It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon a young man who was dying and said:` “How do you feel?” He said: “I have hope in Allah, O Messenger of Allah, but I fear my sins.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “These two things (hope and fear) do not coexist in the heart of a person in a situation like this, but Allah will give him that which he hopes for and keep him safe from that which he fears.”
