Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 37, Hadith 45
is to say the one who reckons with
his soul in the world, before he is
reckoned with, on the Day of
Judgement.
It has been related that ‘Umar bin
Al-Khattäb said: “Reckon with
yourselves before you are reckoned
with, and prepare for the Greatest
Inquisition. The reckoning of the
Day of Judgement is only light for
the one who reckoned with himself
in the world.”
And, it has been related that
Maimun bin Mihran said: “The
slave (of Allah) will not be a Taqi
until he has reckoned himself, just
as he would account for where his
business partner got his food and
clothing.”
