80 – Abū Saʿīd al-Madīnī narrated to us; he said: Dhūʾayb ibn ʿImāmah narrated to me; he said: Muhammad ibn Maʿn narrated, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, that his father used to say:
“If you find yourself in this world afflicted by something that upsets you, then remember death, for it will make the matter easier for you.”
٨٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ذُؤَيْبُ بْنُ عِمَامَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا كُنْتَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فِيمَا يَسُوؤُكَ فَاذْكُرِ الْمَوْتَ، فَإِنَّهُ يُسَهِّلُ عَلَيْكَ
