حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَکَمِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَی شَابٍّ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ کَيْفَ تَجِدُکَ قَالَ أَرْجُو اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَخَافُ ذُنُوبِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا يَرْجُو وَآمَنَهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4261
It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet P.B.U.H entered upon a young man who was dying and said: "How do you feel?" He said: "I have hope in Allah, a Messenger of Allah, but I fear my sins." The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H 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." (Hasan)
