The Virtues of Muharram and 'Aashooraa' - Special Months & Times - Islamic Articles - A2Youth.com

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

"Hasten to do good deeds before you are overtaken by one of the seven afflictions.'' Then (giving a warning) he said, "Are you waiting for such poverty which will make you unmindful of devotion; or prosperity which will make you corrupt, or disease as will disable you, or such senility as will make you mentally unstable, or sudden death, or Ad-Dajjal who is the worst expected absent, or the Hour, and the Hour will be most grievous and most bitter".

[At-Tirmidhi]
