It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to a man to visit him in his illness and found him in the throes of death. He (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted him with salam and asked: "How do you find yourself?" He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I feel well; I have hope in Allah, the Mighty and Majestic (for His mercy), and I fear my sins. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When these two things (fear and hope) come together in a person's heart at this juncture (death), Allah Almighty grants him what he hopes for and grants him safety from what he fears." In the chain of this narration, the eminent Successor Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) had a doubt in attributing this narration to Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) (which he expressed with the word 'ahsibuhu' (I think)).
