حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَعْجَبُوا بِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا بِمَ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ، فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ عُمُرِهِ - أَوْ بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِهِ - بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ لَوْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ لَدَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلٍ سَيِّئٍ، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ عُمُرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ سَيِّئٍ لَوْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ لَدَخَلَ النَّارَ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا اسْتَعْمَلَهُ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ ؟ قَالَ: يُوَفِّقُهُ لِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ عَلَيْهِ

✧ You should not be impressed with anyone until you see how his life ends. For a worker may perform righteous deeds for a period of his life—or a span of his time—such that if he died upon them he would enter Paradise, then he turns and performs evil deeds. And a servant may perform evil deeds for a period of his life such that if he died upon them he would enter Hell, then he turns and performs righteous deeds. When God wills good for a servant, He employs him. They said: O Messenger of God, how does He employ him? He said: He grants him success in righteous deeds, then takes him upon that.
