he enters & when he exits. As for the wicked sinner, he beatifies his deeds

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Alee
ibn Aadam al-Ethopiee رحمه الله said in his explanation of the above hadeeth:
“In this (hadeeth) is a clarification that it is a must for the servant to always be grateful for the blessings Allaah تعالى has bestowed him with and he should not look towards the one who has more than him and the one who has been blessed with more blessings than him. For indeed, Allaah عز وجل is the One Who allocates and apportions the provisions and sustenance in accordance to His complete and perfect wisdom. It is not befitting for the servant to look to others, that is because it will lead him to belittling and not valuing what Allaah تعالىhas given him in accordance to His complete and perfect wisdom, and His just judgment, and Allaah تعالى says:
“And perhaps you
dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad
for you. And Allaah knows but you do not know.”(2:216)
And He The Most High
said:
“And perhaps you
dislike a thing and Allaah makes therein much good.”(4:19)

‘Whoever Loves to Meet Allah, then
Allaah Loves to Meet him’
Shaykh Zayd Al-Madkhali رَحِمَهُ الله
On the authority of Abi Al-Zinaad, on the authority of Al-A’raj, on the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: Allaah , exalted be He the Most High, said:
“If My slave loves to meet Me then I love to meet him, and
if he dislikes to meet Me then I dislike to meet him.”
Shaykh Zayd Al-Madkhali رَحِمَهُ الله
“And this is specific to the time of (being at) the brink
of death. Close to the appointed time (of death). The believer is in a state of delightfulness. The
angels give him glad tidings. The angels descend upon him and give him glad
tidings. So he loves to meet Allaah. And the intended meaning of this is not at a time of wellbeing and
the ability to choose. For the mother of the believers, ‘Aaisha, may Allaah be
pleased with her said: “We all dislike death.” (Then) he ﷺ said: “The affair is not that, but
rather it is at the time of (being at) the brink of death.”Whoever loves to
meet Allaah at that time then Allaah loves to meet him. And the believer loves
to meet Allaah at that time (i.e the brink of death) due to what he sees from
good and what he feels from the sensations. In which Allaah, عزوَ جل said:
تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
“…on them the
angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): “Fear not, nor
grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised!”
نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَاؤُكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ
الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ
“We have been
your friends in the life of this world
and are (so) in the Hereafter…” [41: 30-31]
Those verses.
And this is
what makes him (i.e. the believer) love to meet
Allaah. As for the people of wrongdoing (and sin) then, in that
instance, they do not love to meet Allaah because they will not be given
tidings of anything except torment and punishments in both the grave and the hereafter.
So he does not love to meet Allaah but rather he dislikes it and Allaah
dislikes to meet him. And that is not except that the recompense from Allaah is
relative to the kind of action
(performed). Such as the one who increase in performing righteous good deeds
and persists upon them, then Allaah will
make him firm. And the Angels descend upon him at every time from the times of
difficulty and need, and the greatest time of need is at the brink of death. So
this Hadeeth is understood to be (in relation to) this time (i.e. the time of being
at the brink of death).

SEEK
PROTECTION FROM DISEASES OF THE BODY AND
HEART – SHAYKH AL-UTHAYMĪN
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sālih
al-Uthaymīn (Allāh have mercy on him) in explanation of the Dua of Qunūt, mentions a tremendous benefit relating to diseases.
He said, that when supplicating for health and wellbeing the Muslim
should bring to mind the diseases of the body and diseases of the heart (those
which affect your religion). This is because diseases of the heart are more
severe and harmful than the diseases of the body.
He (Allāh have mercy on him) continues to say:
The diseases of the
body (and their harms) are well known, however the diseases of the heart (are
often overlooked and they) are of two types:
The first disease is the Shahawāt and its origins are whims and lusts. (Meaning) a person
knows the truth, however he doesn’t want to follow it due to his desires and
whims being in opposition to that which the Prophet (alayhis salām) came with.
The second disease is the disease of shubuhāt (i.e. beliefs, ideas, thoughts that are made
to resemble the truth but are falsehood in reality), and its origin is ignorance,
because the ignoramus acts upon falsehood whilst thinking that it is the truth.
And this is an extremely dangerous sickness.
The Shaykh continues
to advise that we should supplicate to Allāh and ask that he gives us health,
wellbeing and protection from (both) diseases of the body and diseases of the
heart; which are (aforementioned) doubts and desires.
