Arabic text

ابن أبي عمير عن أبي أيوب عن أبي عبيدة قال: قلت لأبي جعفر عليه السلام جعلت فداك حدثني بما انتفع به فقال: يا أبا عبيدة أكثر ذكر الموت فما أكثر ذكر الموت انسان الأزهد في الدنيا.

Translation

3.Ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Abū Ayyūb, from Abū ʿUbaydah who said, “I said to Abū Jaʿfar (a), ‘May I be your ransom! Inform me of something that I may benefit from.’ So he said, ‘O Abā ʿUbaydah, remember death often, for a person does not remember death often but that he detaches himself from the [yearnings of the material] world.’”

Translation: Shaykh Tahir Ridha Jaffer — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
