The beloved Prophet (PBUH) often advised his companions. He gave valuable advice. These pieces of advice are very important for the life of every person. Whoever remembers these advices and admonitions of the beloved Prophet, they will be a guide for him on the path of life. Narrated by Hazrat Amr ibn Maymun (RA). He said, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) advised a person, "Consider doing five things before five things come as a great blessing."
Five things that's are-
1. Youth before old age comes,
2. Health before illness,
3. Freedom from want before need,
4. Leisure and leisure before busyness, and
5. Life or lifespan before death (Tirmidhi).
That is, one should be careful about these five things. Youth should be valued. Worship and worship should be done more at this age. One should consider a healthy state as a blessing of Allah. Before getting sick, one should spend one's life, property and time in worship of Allah. In a prosperous state, one should spend one's money on good deeds. Because it may be that one wants to spend one's wealth in the path of Allah, but then one may not have the ability. Therefore, while one is able, one should spend one's wealth and property on good deeds according to one's ability. Similarly, one should utilize one's free time. There may come a time when one may want to spend one's time on good deeds. But then one's busyness will increase a lot. Even if one wants to, one will not be able to spend time on the path of Allah. Therefore, the beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) has given importance to utilizing one's free time. Then the Messenger (peace be upon him) has instructed one to spend one's life and time in good deeds before death comes. Because the one who died today did not know that his life was ending today. He has to leave this world today. If he had known, he might have repented to Allah and asked for forgiveness from the Almighty Allah for his mistakes.
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA). He said, The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Will you accept these rules from me and act upon them? Or will you teach someone who will act upon them?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will accept them." Then he held my hand and made me count five numbers. He said, "1. Refrain from what Allah has forbidden. By doing so, you will be a good worshipper. 2. Be happy with what Allah has given you. By doing so, you will be the richest of people. 3. Be kind to your neighbor. By doing so, you will be a complete believer. 4. Love for others what you love for yourself. By doing so, you will be a true Muslim. 5. Do not laugh too much. Because laughing too much kills the heart." (Musnad Ahmad, Tirmidhi).
Hazrat Ibn Masud (RA) narrated from the Holy Prophet (PBUH) that he said, “On the Day of Resurrection, a person’s two feet will not grow so much until he is asked about five things. 1. Regarding his age, how he spent his age? 2. Regarding his youth, how he spent his youth? 3. Regarding his wealth, how he acquired his wealth? 4. Regarding his wealth, where he spent his wealth? 5. And regarding his knowledge, what he did with the knowledge he acquired? (Tirmidhi). Narrated Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA). He said, The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Most people are in error regarding the use of two valuable assets: health and leisure.” (Bukhari) That is, these are two such valuable assets that people realize their value only after they are lost. Narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA). He said, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, The first question that will be asked of a servant on the Day of Judgment regarding blessings is, Did I not give you health and well-being? Did I not satisfy you with cool water? (Tirmidhi).
