حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبِي أَوْ بِبَعْضِ جَسَدِي وَقَالَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كُنْ كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ وَعُدَّ نَفْسَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5002
It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) took hold of my garment or of me and said: "O 'Abdullah, be (in this world) as if you are a stranger Or a traveller passing through, and regard yourself as being among the occupants of the graves."
