2336 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Ishaq narrated to me; ʿAbd Allah informed us; Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam informed us, from Damrah ibn Habib, from Shaddad ibn Aws, who said:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The prudent person is the one who holds his soul to account and works for what lies beyond death, whereas the helpless person is he who lets his soul follow its whims yet pins his hopes on Allah—Exalted is He.”
٢٣٣٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ 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 –»
