What is the authenticity of the hadiths that indicate that Satan appears to a dying Muslim and asks him to die in a state other than Islam?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Satan is keen to mislead and tempt people until they die, and he swore to do so saying: "Then by Your Might, I will surely mislead them all," and "and indeed I will mislead them and I will arouse desires in them." As for the hadith in question, the commentators on Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani's treatise did not attribute it to any of the hadith books, and al-Qurtubi mentioned that he did not find it in the Sunan of Tirmidhi and Nasa'i. A Muslim must be keen on steadfastness in obedience so that he may die with a good ending.
