  "en": "Curtailing hopes in the world, founded on the fortieth hadith of the Forty: 'be in this world as though a stranger or a wayfarer' — for a stranger does not settle into a foreign abode, and a passer-by clings to it even less; upon it Ibn Umar built his saying 'when you reach evening do not await the morning, and when you reach morning do not await the evening, and take from your health for your sickness and from your life for your death'; Ibn Rajab calls this hadith a foundation of curtailing hope in this world, such that the believer should not take it as his lasting home and set his heart at rest in it (Jami' al-Ulum wal-Hikam pp. 810–811)."
