Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of his shoulders and said, "Be in this world as if you are a stranger or a traveler." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say, "When evening comes, do not wait for the morning, and when morning comes, do not wait for the evening. Take from your health for your sickness and from your life for your death"
