81: A person may receive one of three tidings when he dies

Know that there are three forms of address of tidings given when one dies. It may be said, “Receive good tidings, O beloved one of Allah, of Allah’s pleasure and Paradise.” It may be said, “Receive evil tidings, O enemy of Allah, of Allah’s anger and the Fire.” It may be said, “Receive tidings, O servant of Allah, of Paradise due to Islam.” This is the saying of Ibn Abbas [1].
