Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُكَيْنٌ قَالَ ذَكَرَ ذَاكَ
أَبِي عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَلْقَ ابْنُ آدَمَ شَيْئًا قَطُّ مُذْ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ لَأَهْوَنُ مِمَّا بَعْدَهُ

سكين
English Translation
Hasan narrated to us, Sukayn narrated to us, he said: My father mentioned that, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The son of Adam has never encountered anything more severe than death since Allah created him. Yet death is easier than what comes after it. They will encounter such terrors that death will seem light compared to them. They will be relieved from it until they reach a standing in which great anxieties will overtake them.'
