Narrated Mujahid: ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “Allah’s Apostle took hold of my shoulder and said, ‘Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.” The sub-narrator added: Ibn ‘Umar used to say, “If you survivetill the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death.”
Bukhari (Book #76, Hadith #425)
We should be ready at all times and we should tell those we love that we love them before it is too late.
Assalaamu ‘Alaikum waRahmatullaahi waBarakaatuh
“Until the hour of speration”
Muslims who know the account of last meeting between Mu’aadh radiyAllaahu ‘anhu and Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam when He radiyAllaahu ‘anhu was leaving for Yemen, and Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam had said to him that the next time you come to Madeenah you would be visiting my grave, can feel the pain of love. Thoughout human history of spiritual love between humans, no love can surpass the spiritual love between As-haab radiyAllaahu ‘anhum and Rasool sall Allaahu ‘alaihi wasallam. Meeting for sake of Allaah and Departing for sake of Allaah qualifies us to be included among those who would be given special and honorific Shade of Allaah on Yaum-ul-Qiyaamah.
