It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the tenth of a group of ten men. Then a man from the Ansar came and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, who is the most intelligent of people and the most prudent of people?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Those who remember death the most and who prepare most for death before death descends; these are the truly wise, who have taken away the honour of this world and the dignity of the Hereafter.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Malik bin Mighwal except Yahya bin Sa'id al-Umawi."
