العُمُرُ Lifespan

1ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ عُمرَكَ عَدَدُ أنفاسِكَ ، وعَلَيها رَقيبٌ يُحصيها.

1– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily your lifespan is the total number of your breaths, and there is a watcher over them counting them.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 3434]
 

2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّهُ لَن يَستَقبِلَ أحَدُكُم يَوما مِن عُمرِهِ إلّا بِفِراقِ آخَرَ مِن أجَلِهِ.

2– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily nobody will receive a single extra day to his lifespan except that another day will be taken from him from his end.’[Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 2, p. 218]
