    Hasten To Do Good Deeds

    Hadith Five

    The Prophet's ﷺ Recommendation
    To Hasten To Do Good Deeds
    Without Procrastination Nor Laziness,
    Before Involvement With Concerns
    And Unforeseeable Obstacles

    It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (ra) that the Prophet ﷺ said:
    "Hasten to good deeds before
    seven [deadlines]! Are you waiting for poverty to make
    you oblivious? Or wealth to turn you into an
    oppressor? Or debilitating illness? Or hoary senility?
    Or sudden death? Or the Antichrist - a detestable
    wait! Or the Hour [of Resurrection]? Indeed, the Hour
    is hardest to bear and most bitter!"

    Al-Tirmidhi narrated it and declared it hasan,

    while al-Hakim declared its chain sahîh as stated in
    al-Mundhiri's Targhib and in Fayd al-Qadir.
