When death approached Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) he cried; so he was asked: ”What makes you cry?” He said: ”After isolation, the scarcity of provisions (for the hereafter by way of good deeds) and a major obstacle (i.e. the questioning in the grave and the standing on the day of judgment), then the place of descent will either be paradise or hell.” [Source: Sifatus Safwa 1/694]
