Take Advantage of Five Before Five Come

Hasan
Mustadrak al-Hakim · 7846·Narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA)

اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ، وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ، وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ

Transliteration

Ightanim khamsan qabla khams: shabābaka qabla haramik, wa sihhhataka qabla saqamik, wa ghinaka qabla faqrik, wa farāghaka qabla shughlika, wa hayātaka qabla mawlik

Translation

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take advantage of five things before five others: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you become occupied, and your life before your death."
