Thinking about death

To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6535

يَخْلُصُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَيُحْبَسُونَ عَلَى قَنْطَرَةٍ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَيُقَصُّ لِبَعْضِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، مَظَالِمُ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا، حَتَّى إِذَا هُذِّبُوا وَنُقُّوا أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لأَحَدُهُمْ أَهْدَى بِمَنْزِلِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْهُ بِمَنْزِلِهِ كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا

yakhluṣu al-muʾminūna mina an-nāri, fayuḥbasūna ʿalā qanṭaratin bayna al-jannah wa-an-nāri, fayuqaṣṣu libaʿḍihim min baʿḍin, maẓālimu kānat baynahum fī ad-dunyā, ḥattā idhā hudhibūā wanuqqūā udhina lahum fī dukhūli al-jannah, fawālladhī nafsu muḥammadin biyadihi lʾaḥaduhum ahdā bimanzilihi fī al-jannah minhu bimanzilihi kāna fī ad-dunyā

The full narration

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The believers, after being saved from the (Hell) Fire, will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will be established among them regarding wrongs they have committed in the world against one another. After they are cleansed and purified (through the retaliation), they will be admitted into Paradise; and by Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, everyone of them will know his dwelling in Paradise better than he knew his dwelling in this world
