إِنَّكُمْ فِي آجَالٍ مَقْبُوضَةٍ وَ أَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَ الْمَوْتُ يَأْتِي بَغْتَةً مَنْ يَزْرَعْ خَيْراً يَحْصُدْ غِبْطَةً وَ مَنْ يَزْرَعْ شَرّاً يَحْصِدْ نَدَامَةً وَ لِكُلِّ زَارِعٍ مَا زَرَعَ وَ لَا يَسْبِقُ الْبَطِيءَ مِنْكُمْ حَظُّهُ وَ لَا يُدْرِكُ حَرِيصٌ مَا لَمْ يُقَدَّرْ لَهُ مَنْ أُعْطِيَ خَيْراً فَاللَّهُ أَعْطَاهُ وَ مَنْ وُقِيَ شَرّاً فَاللَّهُ وَقَاهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ibn Fazzal, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘You are all (living) in a term which is being marked (allotted) and days which are numbered, and the death comes unexpectedly. The one who cultivates goodness would harvest (eternal) Bliss, but the one who cultivates evil would harvest regret; and for every farmer is what he farms; and the slow moving one from you will not be preceded by his share, nor would the greedy one comes across what is not Ordained for him. The one who does good, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will Grant him good, but the one who saves (himself from) evil, So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> will Save evil for him’.
