Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hasan that he says: Indeed, the believer is watchful over his own self and he holds himself accountable for the sake of God. And on the Day of Resurrection, the reckoning will be easy for those who used to hold themselves accountable in the world, and on the Day of Resurrection, the reckoning will be difficult for those who do not hold themselves accountable. Indeed, when something suddenly comes to a believer, he likes it and says: By God! I desired you, and indeed you are something I need. But by God! There was no connection towards you. And when something is lost from a believer, he turns to himself and says: Did I intend this? What concern do I have with it? I have many others besides it. By God! I will never return to it, God willing. Surely, the people of faith are those whom the Qur'an has made steadfast, and it stands as a barrier between them and their destroyed possessions. The believer is a prisoner in this world, striving to free his neck, and he is not secure from anything until he meets God Almighty. He knows that he is accountable for all of this.
