حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الزَّاهِدُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ، قَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ، أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ،
قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، كَتَبَ إِلَى بَعْضِ عُمَّالِهِ، فَكَانَ فِي آخِرِ كِتَابِهِ: " أَنْ حَاسِبْ نَفْسَكَ فِي الرَّخَاءِ قَبْلَ حِسَابِ الشِّدَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ حَاسَبَ نَفْسَهُ فِي الرَّخَاءِ قَبْلَ حِسَابِ الشِّدَّةِ عَادَ مَرْجِعُهُ إِلَى الرِّضَا وَالْغِبْطَةِ وَمَنْ أَلْهَتْهُ حَيَاتُهُ وَشُغْلُهُ بِهَوَاهُ عَادَ مَرْجِعُهُ إِلَى النَّدَامَةِ وَالْحَسْرَةِ، فَتَذَكَّرْ مَا تُوعَظُ بِهِ لِكَيْ تَنْتَهِيَ عَمَّا يُنْتَهَى عَنْهُ "

He said: It has reached me that ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) wrote to one of his governors, and at the end of his letter was: "Take yourself to account in times of ease before the reckoning of hardship. For whoever takes himself to account in times of ease before the reckoning of hardship, his return will be to contentment and happiness; and whoever is distracted by his life and occupied with his desires, his return will be to regret and sorrow. So remember what you are admonished with, so that you may refrain from what you are forbidden."
