It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Anbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He makes him "honeyed." Someone asked, "What is meant by 'honeyed'?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Allah Almighty opens the doors of righteous deeds for him before his death, then seizes his soul while he is upon that.
