Hadhrat Hasan (R.A) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhiwa‐
sallam) said, "The pangs of death are equivalent to being
struck by three hundred swords." He also mentioned that the
pangs of death serve as an advice to my ummah.
APPRECIATING FIVE THINGS BEFORE FIVE.
Hadhrat Maymoon bin Mahraan (R.A) reports from Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) that five things should be appreciated before five things:
1. Youth before old age.
2. Health before illness.
3. Leisure time before becoming busy.
4. Wealth before poverty.
5. Life before death.
• When old age arrives, it is difficult to even imagine performing those acts of worship performed in one's youth. In old age it is also extremely difficult to alter those bad habits and lethargy that one may have adopted during one's youth.
• The value of good health is only truly understood when one becomes ill. Therefore, it will definitely be tragic to waste one's time when enjoying good health.
• The nights are hours of leisure. If these are not utilized for dhikr and ibaadah, one will not possibly be able to compensate for them during the busy hours of the day. This applies especially to the long winter nights. Also, when one lives affluently, he has more time at leisure and may misuse it in futility. Therefore, it is better to use ones time well so that one is not forced to change, laziness is cause of adversity.
