اغتنم خمسا قبل خمس شبابك قبل هرمك وصحتك قبل سقمك وغناءك قبل فقرك وفراغك قبل شغلك وحياتك قبل موتك
“Take (benefit from) five before (the occurrence of) five: Your youth before old age; and your health before sickness; and your wealth before poverty; and your free time before pre-occupation; and your life before death.”
[Ibn Abi Shaybah, 34319; Mustadrak al-Hakim, 7846 / 7915 – who classed it as saheeh “on the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim” (see ‘Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1077 and ‘Saheeh Targheeb wat-Tarheeb’, 3355)]
It is comprehensive, clear, straightforward and makes it easy for us to identify our goal and purpose of our life rather than losing track.
