Remembrance of Death and Restraint of Wishes
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: قَالَ: “بَادِرُوا بِالأَعْمَالِ سَبْعًا، هَلْ تنتظرون إِلاَّ فَقْرًا مُنْسِيًا، أَوْ غِنًى مُطْغِيًا، أَوْ مَرَضًا مُفْسِدًا، أَوْ هَرَمًا مُفَنِّدًا، أَوْ مَوْتًا مُجْهِزًا، أَوِ الدَّجَّالَ، فَشَرُّ غَائِبٍ يُنْتَظَرُ، أَوِ السَّاعَةَ، فَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ؟!” ((رَوَاهُ الترمذى وَقَالَ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَن)).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Hasten to do good deeds before you are overtaken by one of the seven afflictions." Then (giving a warning) he said, "Are you waiting for poverty which will make you unmindful of devotion, or prosperity which will make you corrupt, or a disease which will disable you, or senility which will make you mentally unstable, or sudden death which will take you all of a sudden, or Ad-Dajjal who is the worst expected, or the Hour; and the Hour will be most grievous and most bitter." [At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan].
