Hadith 37694
٣٧٦٩٤ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: أخبرنا المسعودي عن عون بن عبد اللَّه قال: ما أحد ينزل الموت حق منزلَته إلا عبد عَدّ غدا ليس من (أجله، كم) (١) من مستقبل يوما لا يستكمله، (وراج) (٢) غدا لا يبلغه، إنك لو ترى الأجل ومسيره لأبغضت الأمل وغروره.
It is narrated from Hazrat Awn bin Abdullah that he says: No servant truly enters into death except the one who does not consider tomorrow as part of his respite. How many are those who welcome the day but do not complete it, and how many are those who hope for tomorrow but do not reach it. Surely, if you were to see the respite and its swiftness, you would begin to hate hopes and deceptions.
