(Book 50, Hadith 8) #36768
Death as a Blessing and Trial

SUMMARY: The hadith is about how death can be a blessing, but it is also possible that Allah could have tried the man with illness to wipe out his wrong actions.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that death came to a man in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. A man said, "He was fortunate," as he had died without being tried by illness. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Alas for you, what will let you know that if Allah had tried him with illness, He would have wiped out his wrong actions".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، جَاءَهُ الْمَوْتُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ هَنِيئًا لَهُ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يُبْتَلَ بِمَرَضٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ ابْتَلاَهُ بِمَرَضٍ يُكَفِّرُ بِهِ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the mercy of Allah and how death can be seen as a blessing. It suggests that even if someone dies without being tested by illness or hardship, it does not mean they were fortunate. Instead, Allah may have chosen to test them in other ways or forgive their wrongdoings without them having to go through any suffering. This teaches us that we should never judge someone's situation or assume we know what is best for them because only Allah knows what will bring about the most benefit for each individual person. We should always strive to do our best and trust in Allah's mercy and wisdom.
