Hadith: Five before Five




The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam has said:
"Take benefit of five before five:


Your
YOUTH before your OLD AGE,

Your
HEALTH before your SICKNESS,

Your
WEALTH before your POVERTY,

Your
FREE-TIME before you are PREOCCUPIED,

& Your
LIFE before your DEATH."

Praise be to Allah who bestowed the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam with Jawaami'ul Kalim (conciseness).

Surely, this Hadeeth is few in words but holds a great meaning for those who understand and ponder.

In this narration by ibn Abbas we are asked to take the benefit of five things before the occurrence of five things.

May Allah give us the ability to understand the value of time and take benefit of this moment that we have before it is taken away from us. Aameen
