Question

Is the following a Hadith?

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

Answer

This has been quoted as a Hadith in certain non-primary Hadith sources. However, I have not come across it in any primary Hadith source.

Mulla ‘Ali Qari (rahimahullah) quoted this as the statement of some pious predecessors.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
