ذكر الموت و آثاره
أَدِمْ ذِكْرَ الْمَوْتِ وَذِكْرَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَا تَتَمَنَّ الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا بِشَرْطٍ وَثِيقٍ
Continuously remember death and remember what you will face after death; and never wish for death except after being sure that you have fulfilled the condition for security [in the Hereafter]

أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ الْمَوْتِ [اذْكُرِ الْمَوْتَ] وَمَا تَهْجُمُ عَلَيْهِ وَتُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ وَقَدْ أَخَذْتَ لَهُ حِذْرَكَ وَشَدَدْتَ لَهُ أَزْرَكَ وَلَا يَأْتِيكَ بَغْتَةً فَيَبْهَرَكَ
Increase your remembrance of death and of the place you have to go suddenly and return to after death, until it comes to you while you are on your guard against it and have prepared yourself for it, and let it not come over you suddenly thereby taking you by surprise
