وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ رضي الله عنها قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وسم: «إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الْهَوَى وَطُولُ الْأَمَلِ فَأَمَّا الْهَوَى فَيَصُدُّ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَأما طول الأمل فيُنسي الْآخِرَةَ وَهَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مُرْتَحِلَةٌ ذَاهِبَةٌ وَهَذِهِ الْآخِرَةُ مُرْتَحِلَةٌ قَادِمَةٌ وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا بَنُونَ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُم أَن لَا تَكُونُوا بَنِي الدُّنْيَا فَافْعَلُوا فَإِنَّكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فِي دَارِ الْعَمَلِ وَلَا حِسَابَ وَأَنْتُمْ غَدًا فِي دَارِ الْآخِرَةِ وَلَا عَمَلَ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَان»
Jabir Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I fear most for my people: passion and tall hopes (because of putting off good deeds and desire for long life). Passion prevents accepting the truth because it is false) and hope for a long life makes one forget the hereafter.This world is passing away while the hereafter draws nearer. The one moves distant and the other gets closer, moment by moment.) Both have sons (who follow one or the other). If you are able to avoid being sons of the world, do so because, you are in the world of deeds today and not of being subject to reckoning. But, you will go tomorrow to the house of the hereafter where deeds cannot be done. (So seize the opportunity and do something before the terms comes to you). [1]
