40 – Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; he said: ʿAbd Allah ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥumayd narrated to me; he said: I heard Zuhayr ibn Nuʿaym say: al-Ḥasan used to say, “Son of Adam, you possess only this day, not tomorrow. Therefore, make the most of your day. If ⦗32⦘ tomorrow is granted to you, then be tomorrow as you were today; but if tomorrow never comes, you will not regret what you have neglected with respect to Allah.”
٤٠ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زُهَيْرَ بْنَ نُعَيْمٍ، يَقُولُ: كَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَقُولُ: «ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ بِيَوْمِكِ وَلَسْتَ بِغَدٍ، فَكِسْ فِي يَوْمِكَ، فَإِنْ ⦗٣٢⦘ يَكُنْ غَدٌ لَكَ فَكُنْ كَمَا كُنْتَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَإِلَّا يَكُ غَدٌ لَكَ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَأْسَفُ عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ»
