DEATH IS A DELIGHT FOR BELIEVERS Hadrat Malik Ibn Maghool R.A. says that the first thing which a believer will embrace is death when he witnesses the Divine Benevolence.
(Ibn. Abidduniya) Maharib ibn Wisar says that Hadrat Khasima asked him if the thought of death delighted him. He replied in the negative. Then he said that as far as he knew death does not please only those who see flaws in their good deeds or faith.
(Ibn. Mubarak) Hadrat Rabi ibn Khaisam R.A. says that death is better than all those mysterious things in life which a believer waits for. Those who made effort on their faith and have done good deeds, death delights them. DEATH WIPES OUT SINS Hadrat Anas R.A. quotes the Holy Prophet s.a.w. to have said that the death is expiation for every believer's sin. Ibn Arabi has confirmed the authenticity of this report.
(Abu Naim, Baihaqi) That the thing which compensates for the wrong doing and wipes out sins is called expiation. Due to hardships confronted sins are pardoned. For some all sins are forgiven and for some part of their sins are forgiven, according to the persons status.
