It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He uses him. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: How does He use him? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He grants him the ability to perform righteous deeds before his death.
