Will We Die As We Lived?

Question

Is following a statement of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and what is its reference?

“You will be resurrected as you have died and you will die as you have lived.” 

Answer

I haven’t seen this clearly mentioned in any Hadith. Mulla ‘Ali Al Qari (rahimahullah) has quoted this statement in Mirqatul Mafatih as the statement of some salaf (predecessor)

(Refer: Mirqat, vol. 1, pg. 332)

However, to die as one lived his entire life is indeed a natural phenomenon in most cases.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best,
