8. Shāmīs
٨۔ مسند الشاميين
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "When Allah intends good for a servant, He employs him before his death." A man from the people asked him, "What does He employ him for?" He replied, "Allah guides him to perform good deeds before his death, then He takes him in that state."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا اسْتَعْمَلَهُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مَا اسْتَعْمَلَهُ ؟ قَالَ يَهْدِيهِ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ
