4261. It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet ﷺ entered upon a young man who was dying and said: "How do you feel?" He said: "I have hope in Allāh, O Messenger of Allāh, but I fear my sins." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "These two things (hope and fear) do not coexist in the heart of a person in a situation like this, but Allāh will give him that which he hopes for and keep him safe from that which he fears." (Hasan)
4261 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، دَخَلَ عَلَى شَابٍّ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ، فَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟» قَالَ: أَرْجُو اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَخَافُ ذُنُوبِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ، إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا يَرْجُو، وَآمَنَهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ»

a. Visiting a sick person and asking about his health is a Sunnah, especially if his situation indicates that he is in his last stage of life. b. At the time of death, a person should live in hope and fear. However, he should let his hope overcome his fear. c. If one has in his heart both qualities - hope and fear - then he will get the mercy of Allāh and will be protected from the anger of Allāh.
