Abu al-Darda' said, "Three things made me amazed and three things made me cry. I am amazed at one who is full of hope about this worldly life while death is seeking after him and at a person in full oblivion while he is not forgotten and at a person filling his mouth with laughs while he is not aware whether Allah is pleased at him or displeased. I cried for leaving the most beloved, Mohammad and his Companions, I cried because of the atrocities of death and standing before Allah when all secrets are being revealed and then the destination is not known whether it is a hell fire or a garden of paradise"
Translation is by Mohammad Said Mitwally Ibrahim, Ph.D.
