Follow it with care and do not make the servants of Allah dislike the worship of Allah, lest you become like the rider who destroys his carry-animal during a journey, thus has neither reached his destination nor has any animal to ride on.’” Muhammad ibn Sinan has narrated from Muqrin from Muhammad ibn Sawqah from abu Ja’far (a.s.) a similar Hadith.

Follow it with care. Do not cause your soul to hate the worship of your Lord.

Do good deeds like one who knows he will die very old and be cautious as one who is afraid of dying the next day.’”
