عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَنْكِبِي فَقَالَ: «كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ». وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّبَاحَ، وَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلَا تَنْتَظِرِ الْمَسَاءَ، وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ، وَمِنْ حَيَاتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ.

On the authority of Ibn ʻUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of my shoulder and said: “Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer.” And Ibn ʻUmar used to say: “When evening comes, do not expect to live until morning; and when morning comes, do not expect to live until evening. Take from your health for your illness, and from your life for your death.”

Waxaa laga weriyay Ibn ʻUmar (Allaha raalli ka noqdo labadoodaba), inuu yidhi: Rasuulka ﷺ wuxuu qabtay garabkayga oo yidhi: “Ku noolow dunida sidii adigoo qariib (shisheeye) ah ama socoto jid maraysa.” Ibn ʻUmarna wuxuu odhan jiray: “Markaad galabowdo, ha sugin subaxa; markaad subaxowdana, ha sugin galabta. Caafimaadkaaga wax uga qaado bukaankaaga, noloshaadana wax uga qaado geeridaada.”
