وَبِهِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَا تَعْجَبُوا بِعَمَلِ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا بِمَ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ، فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ لَوْ مَاتَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا سَيِّئًا، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ سَيِّئٍ لَوْ مَاتَ 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

Chain of narrators
- Anas
- Rasūl Allāh ﷺ
✧ Do not be impressed by the deeds of anyone until you see how his life ends. A person may work for a time with a righteous deed such that if he died he would enter Paradise, then he changes and does an evil deed. And a servant may work for a time with an evil deed such that if he died he would enter the Fire, then he changes and does a righteous deed. When God wants good for a servant, He uses him before his death. They said: O Messenger of God, how does He use him? He said: He grants him success in a righteous deed, then takes his soul.
