[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Since Allah created man, he has never encountered anything more severe upon him than death. Yet, indeed, death is easier than what comes after it."  

أحمد:١٢٥٦٦حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُكَيْنٌ قَالَ ذَكَرَ ذَاكَ أَبِي عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَلْقَ ابْنُ آدَمَ شَيْئًا قَطُّ مُذْ خَلَقَهُ اللهُ أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ لَأَهْوَنُ مِمَّا بَعْدَهُ
