Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Remember often the swift cutter of pleasures (that is, death)! For whoever remembers it in a state of hardship, it will bring him ease, and whoever remembers it in a state of ease, it will bring him constraint." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Al-Tirmidhi and others recorded it in abridged form.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its chain is hasan (good).
