قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ خُذْ مِنْهَا فِي الصِّحَّةِ قَبْلَ السُّقْمِ وَ فِي الْقُوَّةِ قَبْلَ الضَّعْفِ وَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ قَبْلَ الْمَمَاتِ .
Translation
From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hassan, from Zayd Al Shahham who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Work (on behalf of) ‘<span class="iTxt">Nafs</span>’ (yourself) for (the sake of) your ‘<span class="iTxt">Nafs</span>’ (yourself). Take from it during the good health before the sickness, and during the strength before the weakness, and during the life before the death’.
