Hadith No.40
On the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, who said: The messenger of Allah took me by the shoulder and said:
"Be in the world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer."
The son of Omar used to say:
"At evening do not expect [to live till] morning, and at morning do not expect [to live till] evening. Take from your health for your illness and from your life for your death."
