Question:
This person is asking about the hadith
None of you should die but hoping only good from Allahلا يموتن أحدكم إلا وهو يحسن الظن بالله
Sahih Muslim 2877c


Answer:
Yes, this is a sound hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that it is obligatory to have a good opinion of Allah. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says
I am as My slave thinks of Me, so let him think of Me whatever he willsأنا عند ظن عبدي بي فليظن بي ما شاء
Sunan ad-Darimi 20:27
, so the believer has a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), especially at the time of death, because the deeds have ended and he is unable to do any more work, so he has a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and strengthens his hope in Allah. Yes.
