ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنِ الْوَصْفِ الَّذِي يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمَرْءُ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ الزَّائِلَةِ

ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn ʿUmar used to say, "If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death."  

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَنْكِبِي فَقَالَ كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّبَاحَ وَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرِ الْمَسَاءَ وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ وَمِنْ حَيَاتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ grabbed me on part of my body and said: 'Be in the world like a stranger or a passerby, and count yourself among the inhabitants of the grave.'" Ibn 'Umar said to me: "When you wake up in the morning, then do not concern yourself with the evening. And when you reach the evening, then do not concern yourself with the morning. Take from your health before your illness, and from your life before your death, for indeed O slave of Allah! You do not know what your description shall be tomorrow." (sahih)  

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِنْكَبِي فَقَالَ كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ وَعُدَّ نَفْسَكَ فِي أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ فَقَالَ لِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلاَ تُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَكَ بِالْمَسَاءِ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلاَ تُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَكَ بِالصَّبَاحِ وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ وَمِنْ حَيَاتِكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا اسْمُكَ غَدًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah took me by the shoulder and said, "Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." And Ibn Umar said to me, "When you wake up in the morning, do not wait for the evening, and when you reach the evening, do not wait for the morning. Take from your good deeds for your bad ones."  

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَنْكِبِي؛ وَقَالَ كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ قَالَ وَقَالَ لِيَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرِ الْمَسَاءَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّبَّاحَ وَخُذْ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِكَ لِمَسَاوِيكَ
