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
