A hadith like this is narrated on the authority of Abu Sinan with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): " As he meets Allah, He rewards him, and he is happy".
The message of this hadith is clear; no matter what hardships or difficulties we may face in life, if we remain steadfast in our faith and strive for righteousness then God will reward us with joy upon meeting Him. We should never give up hope or lose sight of what truly matters; living a life devoted to pleasing God and seeking His pleasure through good deeds.
