He took him by the shoulder and said to him: "Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a passerby. When you become morning, do not wait for the evening, meaning do not delay righteous deeds but hasten to them before they are lost. And when you become evening, do not wait for the morning. And take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death."

May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
