Imām Ash-Shāfi'ī رحمه الله would recite this poem:
يا نفس ما هي إلا صبر أيام...
كان مدتها أضغاث أحلام
يا نفس جوري عن الدنيا مبادرة...
وخل عنها فإن العيش قدام
O'my soul, It is nothing more than patience for a few days, As if its length is only like that of a strange dream.
O'my soul, pass quickly on through this world and leave it, for indeed life lies ahead of it.
[Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī, (Faḍl 'ilm al-salaf 1/35)]
