Take from your life for your death

Reference: Reported by al-Bukhaaree

On the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما who said:

If you live until the evening, then do not expect to live until the following morning. And if you live until the morning, then do not expect to see the evening. Take from your health for your sickness and from your life for your death.
