983. Thābit narrated from Anas, that the Prophet ﷺ entered upon a young man while he was dying. So he said: "How do you feel?" He said: "By Allāh! O Messenger of Allāh! Indeed I hope in Allāh and I fear from my sins." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "These two will not be gathered in a worshipper's heart at a time such as this, except that Allāh will grant him what he hopes and make him safe from what he fears." (Hasan)

Commentary
'Fear' and 'Hope' are two essential parts of a Muslim's belief. When he views his sins, he is afraid of accountability, and tries to keep himself away from sins, and when he looks at the grace and bounty of Allāh ﷻ he is hopeful of forgiveness.
