Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 17885a
"لَوْ رَأيتُمْ الأجَلَ وَمَسِيرَهُ لأبْغَضْتُم الأمَلَ وَغُرُورَه، وَمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيتٍ إلَّا وَمَلَكُ المَوْتِ يَتَعَاهَدُهُمْ في كُلِّ يَوْم مَرتَّينِ، فَمَنْ وَجَدَهُ قَدْ انْقَضَى أجَلُهُ قَبَضَ رُوحَهُ، فَإذَا بَكَى أهْلُهُ وَجَزِعُوا قَال: لِمَ تَبكونَ؟ وَلِمَ تَجْزَعُونَ؟ فَواللهِ مَا نَقَصْتُ لَكُمْ عُمْرًا، وَلا حَبَسْتُ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا، مَا لِي ذَنْبٌ، وَإنَّ لِي فيكُمْ لَعَوْدَة، ثُمَّ عَوْدَةً، ثُمَّ عَوْدَةً، حتَّى لا أبقِى مِنكمْ أحَدا".

"If you saw the term and its course, you would hate hope and its delusion. There is no household but that the Angel of Death visits them every day twice. Whoever he finds whose term has ended, he takes his soul. When his family weep and become distressed, he says: 'Why do you weep, and why do you grieve? By Allah, I have not reduced your lifespan, nor withheld your provision. I have no fault, and I will return to you again, and again, and again, until none of you remains.'"
