قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ الصَّفَّارُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ قَالَ:

لَقِيتُ شَيْخًا بِالرَّمْلِ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ كَبِيرًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لَقِيتَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ ؟ قَالَ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ؓ، قُلْتُ لَهُ: فَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ ؓ يَقُولُ: « أَحْرِزْ لِدُنْيَاكَ كَأَنَّكَ تَعِيشُ أَبَدًا، وَاعْمَلْ لِآخِرَتِكَ كَأَنَّكَ تَمُوتُ غَدًا

✧ I met an old Bedouin shaykh at al-Raml and said to him: 'Did you meet anyone from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'Who?' He said: 'Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As ؓ.' I said to him: 'What did you hear him say?' He said: 'I heard him ؓ say: "Secure your worldly affairs as if you will live forever, and work for your Hereafter as if you will die tomorrow."'
