أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَافِظُ بِهَمْدَانَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ثنا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ التَّبُوذَكِيُّ مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
مَثَلُ الرَّجُلِ وَمَثَلُ الْمَوْتِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ خِلَّانٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ هَذَا مَالِي فَخُذْ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ أَنَا مَعَكَ حَيَاتَكَ فَإِذَا مِتَّ تَرَكْتُكَ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ أَنَا مَعَكَ أَدْخُلُ وَأَخْرُجُ مَعَكَ إِنْ مِتَّ وَإِنْ حَيِيتَ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي قَالَ خُذْ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ وَدَعْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ مَالُهُ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ عَشِيرَتُهُ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَهُوَ عَمَلُهُ

✧ The example of a man and death is like a man who has three friends. One of them says, "This is my wealth, take from it what you wish." Another says, "I am with you as long as you live, but when you die, I will leave you." The other says, "I am with you; I enter and leave with you, whether you die or live." As for the one who said, "Take from it what you wish and leave what you wish," that is his wealth. The other is his kinsfolk. The other is his deeds.
