459 – Mahmud ibn Khidash related to us, saying: Ashʿath ibn ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Zubayd narrated to us, saying: Hammad, an elder from Kufa, narrated to us, from al-Hasan al-Basri—I heard him say: “This worldly life is but three days. Yesterday has passed, carrying away all that it contained; as for Tomorrow, you may never reach it. Therefore, consider well what you will do with your Today.”
