Take benefit 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 preoccupation and
Your life before your death.
[Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam - Al-Haakim,
Al-Baihaqee: Saheeh]
This hadith is well known to most of us, it was even made into a nasheed by a popular nasheed group in Malaysia, Raihan.
I have been sick for the past 4 days, starting with 3 days of fever and runny nose, one day feeling nauseated, loss of appetite and followed by diarrhoea today.. i felt so weak, losing my appetite, i can’t even finish my meal.. always want to lie down and sleep..
during that sickness, i thought of many things that i wished to do when i was healthy, but i postponed them.. i thought, i want to do them latter.
when i became sick, i really wish that i am healthy.. so that i can clerk patient and examine them in the ward, and learn as much as i could..
then i remember the Hadith, take benefit of your health before your sickness..
so my friend, don’t make a waste of your time when you’re healthy.. use it to the maximum, don’t become like me.. please pray that i will recover soon, insya Allah
