417 – Abū Isḥāq al-Ādamī narrated to me; he said: I heard Abū Rabīʿah ibn ʿAwf say: I heard Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah relate that one of the sages said:
“The days are three: Yesterday is a wise tutor—it has left you an admonition and deposited within you a lesson; Today is a guest—long absent from you, yet quick to depart; and as for Tomorrow, you do not know who will possess it.”
٤١٧ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْآدَمِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْحِكَمِ: " الْأَيَّامُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: فَأَمْسِ حَكِيمٌ مُؤَدِّبٌ أَبْقَى فِيكَ مَوْعِظَةً، وَتَرَكَ فِيكَ عِبْرَةً، وَالْيَوْمُ ضَيْفٌ كَانَ عَنْكَ طَوِيلَ الْغِيبَةِ، وَهُوَ عَنْكَ سَرِيعُ الظَّعْنِ، وَغَدٌ لَا تَدْرِي مَنْ صَاحِبُهُ
