HOPE AND FEAR

HADITH OF THE DAY: HOPE AND FEAR

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once went to see a young man who was on his deathbed. The Prophet asked him: "How are you?" The young man said: "I hope for God's pardon, but I am fearful because of my sins."

The Prophet replied: "These two things never gather in the heart of a person at such a time without God granting him what he hopes for and sheltering him from what he dreads."

Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 4, Number 15
