[Machine] "What is this?" they asked. They said, "We don't know." Then it was said, "O Commander of the Faithful, send for Wahb bin Munabbih, for he reads all the books." So he was sent for, and he recognized the book and read it. In it was written, 'O son of Adam, if you could see what remains of your life, you would forsake all hopes and desires. Only regrets would await you as your footsteps slip. The beloved has submitted and the close ones bid you farewell. You are not returning to your family, nor are you adding to your deeds. So work for the Day of Resurrection before it becomes a source of regret and remorse.'"  

مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا مَا نَعْرِفُهُ فَقِيلَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ابْعَثْ إِلَى وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْرَأُ الْكُتُبَ كُلَّهَا فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَ الْكِتَابَ وَقَرَأَهُ فَإِذَا فِيهِ «ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَجَلِكَ لَزَهِدْتَ فِي طُولِ مَا تَرْجُو مِنْ أَمَلِكَ وَإِنَّمَا تَلْقَى نَدَمَكَ وَقَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمُكَ؛ فَأَسْلَمَكَ الْحَبِيبُ وَوَدَّعُكَ الْقَرِيبُ فَلَا أَنْتَ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ عَائِدٌ وَلَا فِي عَمَلِكَ زَائِدٌ فَاعْمَلْ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسْرَةِ وَالنَّدَامَةِ»
