Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَبُوا بِأَحَدٍ، حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا بِمَ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ، فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، أَوْ بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِهِ، بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، لَوْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا سَيِّئًا، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ الْبُرْهَةَ مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ سَيِّئٍ، لَوْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ 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 عَلَيْهِ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not be amazed at anyone until you see what his end is like, because sometimes a person spends his whole life or a long period in good deeds, so that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Paradise. But then a change occurs in him and he becomes involved in sins. Similarly, a man remains involved in such sins for a long time that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Hell, but then a change occurs in him and he becomes engaged in good deeds. And when Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He uses him before his death. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: How does He use him? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He grants him the ability to do righteous deeds before he dies, then He takes his soul."
