Abū Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq on Impermanency of the World

Abū Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: “Where is the beauty and the handsome? Where are those who were delighted by their youth and good looks? Where are the kings who built cities and fenced it with walls? Where are the victorious in wars? They all perished and ended in the depths of dark graves! Hasten and hurry up [to do good deeds] but death is faster.”
