عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: >الدُّنْيَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ: أَمَا أَمْسِ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بِمَا فِيهِ، وَأَمَّا غَدًا فَلَعَلَّكَ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ، وَالْيَوْمُ فَاعْمَلْ فِيهِ<
Translation
Ḥasan [al-Baṣrī] [d. 110H] (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said: The life of this world is made up of three days: “Yesterday has gone with all that was done; tomorrow, you may never reach; but today is for you so do what you should do today.”
