وَقَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:

« قَالَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، عِشْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ، وَأَحْبِبْ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مُفَارِقُهُ، وَاعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ لَاقِيهِ
