Hadith When Allah wills good for a slave, He uses him before he dies

عن عمر الجمعي رضي الله عنه : أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إذا أراد اللهُ بعبدٍ خيرًا استعملَه قبل موتِه» فسأله رجلٌ من القوم: ما استعملَه؟ قال: «يهديه اللهُ عزَّ وجلَّ إلى العمل الصالح قبل موتِه، ثم يقبضه على ذلك».

‘Umar al-Juma‘i (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah wills good for a slave, He uses him before he dies." A man asked: "What does that mean, to use him?" The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Exalted, guides him to do righteous deeds before he dies, then He takes his soul while he is in that state."
