Is it obligatory for the Muslim to let the aspect of fear prevail over hope?

Question:
May Allah guide you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is this statement correct? It is the saying of some that the Muslim should be between fear and hope, and that in a state of health, the aspect of fear should prevail, while at the time of death and approaching death, the aspect of hope should prevail?

Answer:
Yes, this is found in their words. It is found in their words that in a state of health, the aspect of fear should prevail so that one does not feel safe from the deception of Allah, and so that one is active in doing good deeds. And at the time of death, the aspect of hope should prevail because he is no longer able to do deeds. And in the state where he is able to do deeds, the aspect of hope prevails. And in the hadith: And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "I am as My servant thinks of Me, so let him think of Me what he wills." Yes.
