Hadith 953:4

Zayd ibn al-Hubab narrated to us, Mu'awiyah ibn Salih narrated to us, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr narrated to me, from his father, from 'Amr ibn al-Hamiq al-Khuza'i, that he heard the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying: "If Allah intends good for a servant, He employs him." It was said: "And what is 'employs him'?" He said: "He opens for him a righteous deed before his death, until those around him are pleased with him."
