The Dictations · Hadith 788 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6 - وبهذا الاسناد، قال: كان الصادق (عليه السلام) يقول: اعمل على مهل فإنك ميت * * واختر لنفسك أيها الانسان فكأن ما قد كان لم يك إذ مضى * * وكأن ما هو كائن قد كان (5)

By this isnad. He said: Al-Sadiq would say: Be steady in your actions, for surely, you will die, Decide for yourself, O human, For it is as though what is past did not occur at all, And what is present is already past.
