وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْأَوْدِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ: " اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ مُرْسلا
Amr ibn Maymun Al-Awdi Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to a man. While exhorting him, "Regard five things as a blessing before five others. (i) your youth before your old age. (ii) Your health before your illness. (After faith, health is the greatest blessing). (iii) Your affluence before your poverty. (iv) Your leisure before your occupation. (v) Your life before your death.' [2]
