What is the ruling on a man's saying: "No one dies of a broken heart"?
The meaning of the sentence is that no one dies by their own choice, and this is a truth, for Allah Almighty is the One who causes His servants to die. Humans by nature dislike death. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified that the dislike of death by a believer is not what is meant in the Hadith. Rather, what is meant is their dislike of what comes after death, such as meeting Allah when they are given tidings of punishment. As for the believer, they love meeting Allah when they are given tidings of His mercy, pleasure, and Paradise.
