"Has the time not come for the hearts of those who believe to be affected by Allaah's Reminder (this Qur'an) and of what was revealed of the truth." (57:16)

Yazeed Ar-Riqãshee رحمه الله would say to himself:

“Woe to you O Yazeed, who will pray on your behalf after you die? Who will fast on your behalf after you die? Who will please your Lord on your behalf after you die?”

Then he said:

“O people, why do you not cry and weep over yourselves for the rest of your lives. For the one whom death is awaiting him and the grave will be his home and the ground his bed and the worms are his companions and in addition to this he is awaiting the Greatest  Terror, how will his state be?”

[Kitāb At-Tazikrah, vol.1, pgs.124-125, Dār al-Minhāj print, 3^rd edition]
