AHMAD 22899:
from Yā Sāmiʿ al-Ashʿariyyīn Liyuballigh al-Shāhid Minkum al-Ghāʾib Innī —
[Machine] "When Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari was approached by death, he said, 'O listeners from the Ash'ariyyin, let the witness among you convey to the absent one that I have heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying: The sweetness of this worldly life is the bitterness of the hereafter, and the bitterness of this worldly life is the sweetness of the hereafter.'"
أحمد ٢٢٨٩٩:
عن يا سامع الاشعريين ليبلغ الشاهد منكم الغاءب اني —
أَنَّ أَبَا مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ يَا سَامِعَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ حُلْوَةُ الدُّنْيَا مُرَّةُ الْآخِرَةِ وَمُرَّةُ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةُ الْآخِرَةِ
