4114. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took hold of some part of my body and said: 'O 'Abdullāh, be in this world like a stranger, or one who is passing through, and consider yourself as one of the people of the graves.'" (Da'if)
4114 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِبَعْضِ جَسَدِي، فَقَالَ: «يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ، أَوْ كَأَنَّكَ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ، وَعُدَّ نَفْسَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ»

A foreigner and a traveler always prefer their urgent and temporal needs; they do not neglect the preparation of their journey. Similarly, a believer tries his best to gain the Hereafter life through this life, securing this world, is not his basic aim.
