Abdullah ibn Umar, رضي الله عنه‎, used to say:
‘In the evening, do not anticipate the morning and in the morning, do not anticipate the evening. Take from your health for your illness and from your life for your death.’Â
Meaning, in the morning, don’t wait or expect to live until the evening and in the evening, don’t wait or expect to live until the morning. And value your health before your illness and value your life before your death: make the most of your health and life in obeying Allah and doing good.Â
