'Alhamduli'Allahi Rabbil-'Aalameen' wa-Salaatu wa-Salaamu 'Alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa-e-wal Mursaleen~ Amma ba'd~ 'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu' Prepare for Death Yourself {!} [Khutbah of Uthman(RA)] Uthman b. Áffân (Allâh be pleased with him) said in a sermon:- Son of Adam! Know that the angel of death who has been assigned to you has not ceased to pass you and move on to others....... ever since you have been in this world. But it is as if he is about to pass someone else and move on to target you, so be careful and prepare for him (by correcting your deeds). And do not forget him, for he does not forget you. And know o son of Adam, if you are heedless about yourself and do not prepare, no one else will prepare for you. You must meet Allah the Mighty and Majestic, so take for yourself and do not leave it to someone else. Peace be on you. Source:-Abu Bakr Al-Daynûrî, Al-Mujâlasah wa Jawâhir Al-Ãlm 2: 73, 74 It is reported that before his death, Abû Mûsâ Al-Ash'arî [Allah be please with him] used to exert himself intensely in worship. It was said to him:- "If only you would slow down and go easy on yourself." He replied:- "When steeds are let loose and come close to the end of their course they finish by giving it all they have, and what remains Of my life is less than that."
