Musnad Abi Ya'la 3756 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not express
وَبِهِ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا تَعْجَبُوا بِعَمَلِ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا بِمَ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ ، فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ لَوْ مَاتَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا سَيِّئًا ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ سَيِّئٍ لَوْ مَاتَ دَخَلَ النَّارَ ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا اسْتَعْمَلَهُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ ؟ قَالَ : يُوَفِّقُهُ لِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not express admiration or wonder at anyone's deeds until you see what deed his end comes upon. For a person who does deeds may, for a long period of his life, do such righteous deeds that if he died in that state he would enter Paradise, but then he changes and begins to do evil deeds. And indeed a servant may, for a long period of his life, do such evil deeds that if he died in that state he would go to Hell, then he changes and begins to do righteous deeds. And when Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He puts him to work before his death." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! How does Allah put him to work?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He grants him the ability to do a righteous deed before his death, then takes his soul in that state."
