Commentary:
Being needful and talking about death checks man from being lost in the worldly pleasures and seduction. We are, therefore, supposed to remember death frequently and to avoid remaining indifferent to post-death affairs and occurrences.⠀ ⠀
It is reported from Al-Awzāʿī that he said:
Whoever remembers death often will find a small amount (of worldly things) sufficient for him; and whoever includes his speech in his deeds will speak little.
Al-Dhahabī , Siyar A’lām Al-Nubalā` in his biography of Al-Awzāʿī.
