[Machine] I went to the Prophet ﷺ for the tenth time, and a man from the Ansar came and said, "O Prophet of Allah, who are the wisest and most intelligent people? And who are the most prepared?" He said, "The majority of them remember death frequently and are the most prepared for it before it descends. Those are the wisest. They have surpassed the honor of this world and the Hereafter."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَاشِرَ عَشَرَةٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَنْ أَكْيَسُ النَّاسِ؟ وَأَحْزَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ «أَكْثَرُهُمْ ذِكْرًا لِلْمَوْتِ وَأَشَدُّهُمُ اسْتِعْدَادًا لِلْمَوْتِ قَبْلَ نُزُولِ الْمَوْتِ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْأَكْيَاسُ ذَهَبُوا بِشَرَفِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»
