“How do you feel?” He said: “I have
hope
in Allah, O Messenger of Allah, but I fear my sins.” The
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) 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.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 162

“The wise man is the one who takes account of
himself
and strives for that which is after death. And the helpless
man is
the one who follows his own whims then indulges in wishful
thinking
about Allah.”

“Angels
come to the dying person, and if the man was righteous, they
say:
‘Come out, O good soul that was in a good body, come out
praiseworthy and receive glad tidings of mercy and fragrance and a
Lord Who is not angry.’ And this is repeated until it comes out,
then
it is taken up to heaven, and it is opened for it, and it is
asked:
‘Who is this?’ They say: ‘So-and-so.’ It is said:
‘Welcome to the good
soul that was in a good body. Enter
praiseworthy and receive the glad
tidings of mercy and fragrance and
a Lord Who is not angry.’ And this
is repeated until it is brought
to the heaven above which is Allah.
But if the man was evil, they
say: ‘Come out O evil soul that was in
an evil body. Come out
blameworthy, and receive the tidings of boiling
water and the
discharge of dirty wounds,’ and other torments of
similar kind, all
together. And this is repeated until it comes out,
then it is taken
up to heaven and it is not opened for it. And it is
asked: ‘Who is
this?’ It is said: ‘So-and-so.’ And it is said: ‘No
welcome
to the evil soul that was in an evil body. Go back
blameworthy, for
the gates of heaven will not be opened to you.’ So it
is sent back
down from heaven, then it goes to the grave.”
