حَاسِبُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَاسَبُوا، وَزِنُوهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوزَنَ، وَتَجَمَّلُوا لِلْعَرْضِ الأَكْبَرِ، يَوْمَ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَى مِنْكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ.

Hold yourselves to account before you are held to account, and weigh your deeds before they are weighed, and adorn yourselves for the greatest presentation, the Day you will be presented and nothing of you will be hidden.

Umar ibn al-KhattabTazkiyahSiyar A’laam an-Nubalaa 1/9 (narrated from Maymoon ibn Mihraan)
