Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Rizq informed us, saying: ‘Uthmaan bin Ahmad Ad-Daqaaq reported to us: Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Al-Baraa’ narrated to us, saying: ‘Abdullaah bin Muhammad Al-Ash’aree Al-Madeenee recited to me these poetic verses from Mahmood:
“Your yesterday has passed on as a just witness
And you have come upon a day which is (also) a witness against you
So if yesterday you committed an evil deed
Then follow that up with two good deeds, and you will be praiseworthy
Do not put aside doing a good deed today for tomorrow
For perhaps tomorrow will come, yet you no longer
If you find fault with your today, its benefit will come back to you
But as for what you did yesterday, that will not come back to you.”
