Musnad Ahmad 21458

Translation

✧ I am the closest of you on the Day of Resurrection to the Messenger of God ﷺ. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'The closest of you to me on the Day of Resurrection is he who departs from this world in the same state as I left him.' And by God, there is none of you but has clung to something of it except me.
