قَالَ اصْبِرُوا عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ سَاعَةٌ فَمَا مَضَى مِنْهُ فَلَا تَجِدُ لَهُ أَلَماً وَ لَا سُرُوراً وَ مَا لَمْ يَجِئْ فَلَا تَدْرِي مَا هُوَ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ سَاعَتُكَ الَّتِي أَنْتَ فِيهَا فَاصْبِرْ فِيهَا عَلَى طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اصْبِرْ فِيهَا عَنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from one our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Be patient upon the world, for rather it is a moment. So whatever is past from it, neither renew a pain nor a joy for it; and whatever has not come yet, so you do not know what it is; and rather it is your time which you are in (at the moment), so observe patience during it upon the obedience of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and be patient during it from disobeying Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’.
