عن ‏أَبي عِنَبَةَ ‏ ‏قَالَ:
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏�3;ِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا عَسَلَهُ قِيلَ وَمَا عَسَلُهُ قَالَ يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ عَلَيْهِ ‏
أخرجه أحمد وصححه الألباني

It is narrated from Abu 'Inabah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم said,

“When Allah wants good for His slave, He makes him pleasant.” It was asked, “And what makes him pleasant?” He صلى الله عليه و سلم said, “He opens the door of righteous deeds for him before his death, then He takes his soul in that state.”
[Narrated in Musnad Ahmad, authentic according to Shaykh Al-Albani]

Vocabulary from the Hadith

خَيْرًا - Good.
عَسَلَهُ - He makes him pleasant. This word literally means to make sweet, it comes from the word for honey.
يَفْتَحُ - He opens.
عَمَلًا - Deed.
صَالِحًا - Righteous/Good.
يَقْبِضُهُ - He makes him die. This word literally means to take hold or something, but it this context it means death.
عَلَيْهِ - Upon it [i.e., die while doing good deeds].

Lessons from the Hadith

- Al-Munawi (rahimahullah) says in Faydh al-Qadeer: "This hadeeth likens the provision of righteous deeds that Allah gives to His slaves to honey - it is good and beneficial, sweetening whatever is added to it and making whatever it mixes with better."

- A good end is a means to the pleasure of Allah. If Allah intends good for His slave, then He will give him/her a good end.

- Dying while doing good deeds is a sign of a good end.
