Hadith 574 - Bab 65 (Remembrance of Death and Restraint of Wishes)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) took hold of my shoulders and said, "Be in the world like a stranger or a wayfarer." Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) used to say: When you survive till the evening do not expect to live until the morning; and when you survive till the morning do not expect to live until the evening. While in good health (do good deeds) before you fall sick; and while you are alive (do good deeds) before death strikes.

[Al- Bukhari].

Selon Ibn "Omar (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) le saisit une fois par l"épaule et lui dit: «Sois dans ce bas-monde comme un étranger ou comme quelqu"un de passage». Le fils de "Omar (das) disait: «Quand tu es au soir, n"attends pas le matin et quand tu es au matin, n"attends pas le soir. Prends de ta bonne santé pour ta maladie et de ta vie pour ta mort». (Rapporté par Al Boukhâri)

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "It is the duty of a Muslim who has something which is to be given as a bequest not to have it for two nights without executing a written will."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

In the narration of Muslim it is narrated as 'three nights'. Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: Since I heard the Messenger of Allah say this, I have never spent a night without having my will with me.

Toujours selon lui. Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Aucun Musulman possédant quelque bien héritable n"a le droit de passer deux nuits sans avoir par-devant lui son testament dûment rédigé». (Version de Al Boukhâri)

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) drew a few lines and said, "One of them represents man and another indicates death; and a man continues like this until the nearest line (i.e., death) overtakes him."

[Al-Bukhari].

Anas (das) rapporte: «Le Prophète (bsdl) traça des traits et dit: «Voici l"homme et voici le terme de sa vie. Alors qu"il est ainsi, voilà que le trait le plus proche vient mettre fin à son existence». (Rapporté par Al Boukhâri)

Hadith 577 - Bab 65 (Remembrance of Death and Restraint of Wishes)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) drew up a square and in the middle of it he drew a line, the end of which jutted out beyond the square. Further across the middle line, he drew a number of smaller lines. Then he (Peace be upon him) said, "The figure represents man and the encircling square is the death which is encompassing him. The middle line represents his desires and the smaller lines are vicissitudes of life. If one of those misses him, another distresses him, and if that one misses him, he falls victim to another."

[Al-Bukhari].

Ibn Mas"ûd (das) rapporte: «Le Prophète (bsdl) traça un carré. Puis il traça en son milieu un trait qui en sortait. Il traça ensuite des petits traits se dirigeant vers le précédent. Il dit: «Tel est l"homme et ce carré représente son terme qui l"entoure de toutes parts. La ligne médiane qui sort du carré représente ses espérances. Quant à ces petits traits, ce sont les accidents qui le guettent. Si l"un d"eux le manque, l"autre le saisit dans ses mâchoires». (Rapporté par Al Boukhâri)

Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Hasten to do good deeds before you are overtaken by one of the seven afflictions." Then (giving a warning) he said, "Are you waiting for poverty which will make you unmindful of devotion, or prosperity which will make you corrupt, or a disease which will disable you, or senility which will make you mentally unstable, or sudden death which will take you all of a sudden, or Ad-Dajjal who is the worst expected, or the Hour; and the Hour will be most grievous and most bitter."

[At- Tirmidhi].

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Hâtez-vous de faire les bonnes actions avant d"en être empêchés par l"une de ces sept choses auxquelles vous devez vous attendre:

Hadith 580 - Bab 65 (Remembrance of Death and Restraint of Wishes)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Ubayy bin Ka'b (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When one- third of the night would pass, Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) would get up and call out, "O people, remember Allah. The Rajifah (i.e., the first Blowing of the Trumpet which will shake the whole universe and thus cause all life to cease) has come, followed by Ar-Radifah (i.e., the second Blowing of the Trumpet which will restore life and thus mark the Resurrection Day). Death has approached with all that it comprises. Death has approached with all that it comprises." I said: "O Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), I frequently invoke Allah to elevate your rank. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?" He said, "You may devote as much as you wish." When I suggested a quarter, he said, "Do whatever you wish, but it will be better for you if you increase it." I suggested half, and he said, "Do whatever you wish, but it will be better for you if you increase." I suggested two- thirds, and he said, "Do whatever you wish but it will be better for you if you increase it." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplications invoking Allah to elevate your rank?" He said, "Then you will be freed from your worries and your sins will be forgiven."

[At- Tirmidhi].

Selon Oubey Ibn Ka"b (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl), une fois passé le premier tiers de la nuit, se levait de son lit et disait: «O gens! Pensez à Dieu car voici désormais venu le premier souffle dans le clairon (de l"Apocalypse) bientôt suivi du deuxième. Voici venue la mort avec toute sa suite!» Je dis: «O Messager de Dieu! Je prie beaucoup pour toi. Quelle part de ma prière puis-je te réserver?» Il dit: «Celle que tu veux». Je dis: «Le quart?» Il dit: «Ce que tu veux et si tu y ajoutes quelque chose c"est encore mieux pour toi». Je dis: «La moitié?» Il dit: «Ce que tu veux et si tu y ajoutes quelque chose c"est encore mieux pour toi». Je dis: «Les deux tiers ? Il dit: «Ce que tu veux et si tu y ajoutes quelque chose c"est encore mieux pour toi». Je dis: «Je te consacre donc toute ma prière?» Il dit: «Tu auras ainsi mis fin à tous tes soucis et on t"absoudra de tes péchés». (Rapporté par Attirmidhi)
