Summary
A hadith narrated by Anas bin Malik RA states that the spread of sudden death is among the signs of the Hour. This ruling inclines to regard the hadith as weak, because al-Thabarani's teacher, al-Haitham bin Khalid, is a weak narrator, although al-Albani graded it hasan. Even so, Muslims are obliged to remain prepared to meet Allah SWT by increasing good deeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, walaupun hadith di atas adalah dhaif tetapi menjadi kewajipan ke atas kita untuk sentiasa bersedia pada bila-bila masa untuk bertemu dengan Allah SWT
