Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2476b
"عن عمر أنه وعظَ رجلًا فقال: لا تُلهِكَ النَّاسُ عن نفِسك، فإن الأمرَ يصيرُ إليك دونَهم، ولا تقطع النهارَ سارِيًا، فَإِنَّه محفوظٌ عليك ما عَمِلْت، وإِذا أسأتَ فَأَحْسِن فَإِنِّى لم أر شيئا أشدَّ طلبًا، ولا أسرعَ دَرَكة من حَسَنةٍ حديثةٍ لذَنْبٍ قَدِيمٍ".

"From 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he admonished a man, saying: Let people not distract you from yourself, for the matter will come to you apart from them. Do not pass the day in idleness, for it is preserved for you in what you have done. If you do wrong, then do good, for I have not seen anything more urgent in pursuit, nor swifter in overtaking, than a recent good deed for an old sin."
