From Ibn ʿUmar (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhumā) who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wasallam) took me by the shoulder and said, "Be in the world as though you were a stranger or a traveller." And Ibn ʿUmar 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." Related by al-Bukhārī
Arabic text
عن [ابنِ عمرَ] رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُما قالَ: (أَخَذَ رسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَنْكِبَيَّ فقالَ: "كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ"). وكانَ ابنُ عُمَر رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُما يقولُ: إذا أمسيـْتَ فلا تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّباحَ، وإذا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلا تَنْتَظِرِ المساءَ، وخُذْ مِن صِحَّتِكَ لِمَرَضِكَ ، ومِنْ حياتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ. رواه البخاريُّ.
