Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) visited a young man who was on the verge of death and asked, "How do you feel?" The young man said, "I hope in Allah, O Messenger of Allah, but I fear my sins." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "These two feelings do not coexist in the heart of a servant in such a situation except that Allah will grant him what he hopes for and protect him from what he fears"
