Does the servant prioritize the aspect of fear in health, and the aspect of hope in illness?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Prioritizing the aspect of fear over hope in a state of health and wealth, and prioritizing the aspect of hope over fear in a state of illness, is this what is required of the Muslim?

Answer:
It is true that fear and hope must be balanced in all circumstances, but some scholars say that in a state of health, the aspect of fear prevails, and in a state of illness and inability to work, the aspect of hope prevails. Some scholars held this view, but there is no evidence for it. The evidence for the correct view is that one balances between fear and hope always and forever until death, hoping and fearing. For this reason, when some of the Companions was asked, while he was in the process of dying, how he found himself, he said, "I hope for the mercy of my Lord and I fear my sins." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If these two are found together in a person in this state, he will enter Paradise."
