اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ، وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ، وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ
Transliteration
Ightanim khamsan qabla khams: shababaka qabla haramik, wa sihhataka qabla saqamik, wa ghinaka qabla faqrik, wa faraghaka qabla shughlik, wa hayataka qabla mawtik.
Translation
Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.
Narrated by Ibn Abbas·Mustadrak al-Hakim 7846 (sahih), al-Bayhaqi
