Primary text

It is recommended for a person to remember death and prepare for it. This is supported by the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Increase your remembrance of that which destroys delights." This Hadith, the first part of which is narrated by Al-Bukhari, indicates that remembering death reduces excess and increases the little remembrance one has.
