Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril said to me: You may love whomever you wish, for you will have to part from him; you may do whatever deeds you wish, for you will have to face it (that is, its recompense); and you may live as long as you wish, for you will have to die." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: While addressing, Jibril spoke to me briefly.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain contains a group of narrators whom I do not know.
