The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The prudent one is he who holds himself to account and acts for what comes after death, whereas the helpless one is he who lets his soul follow its desires and then pins his hopes on Allah.”
٢٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، جَمِيعًا قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ، وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَالْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا، وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ – Exalté soit-Il –»
