جَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ عِشْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَ أَحْبِبْ مَنْ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ مُفَارِقُهُ وَ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّكَ لَاقِيهِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> came over to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> and he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘O Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>! Live as you<sup>saww</sup> wish but you<sup>saww</sup> will certainly die; love whoever you<sup>saww</sup> wish, but you<sup>saww</sup> will certainly depart from him, and act as you<sup>saww</sup> wish but one day you<sup>saww</sup> will face your deeds.’.
