ahmad-zuhd:1580ʿAbdullāh from my father > Yazīd b. Hārūn > Ibn al-Mubārak > al-Ḥasan > Dhukir al-Wajaʿ

[Machine] By Allah, these are not the most difficult days for Muslims, as they are days in which their lifespans are shortened and reminders are made of what they have forgotten from their appointments, so their sins are forgiven.  

الزهد لأحمد:١٥٨٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ الْوَجَعُ فَقَالَ

«أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا هِيَ بِأَسَرِّ أَيَّامِ الْمُسْلِمِ أَيَّامٍ قُورِبَ لَهُ فِيهَا مِنْ [225] أَجَلِهِ وَذُكِّرَ فِيهَا مَا نَسِيَ مِنْ مَعَادِهِ فَكُفِّرَ بِهَا عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ»
