وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رضي الله عنها قَالَ: ارْتَحَلَتِ الدُّنْيَا مُدْبِرَةً وَارْتَحَلَتِ الْآخِرَةُ مُقْبِلَةً وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا بَنُونَ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الْيَوْمَ عَمَلٌ وَلَا حِسَابَ وَغَدًا حِسَابٌ وَلَا عَمَلَ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
'Ali Narrated from:
Sayyiduna Ali رضي الله عنه narrated (in a mawquf manner), "The world travels away having turned its face away while the hereafter travels towards, us. Both of them have sons. You should (do good deeds and) be sons of the hereafter, but do not be sons of the world (by being unmindful of the hereafter and craving for the world). Know! To day is a day of deeds and not of being subjected to reckoning. But, tomorrow (the day of judgement) is a day of reckoning and not for deeds." [2]
