48. Too much sleep does away with both religion and the world. O People, you have certain special characteristics, so get to emphasise them and you have an end, so be prepared for it. A servant of Almighty God should take (make provisions) for himself from his self: from his world (life) for his hereafter, during his youth before his old age, and in life before death.
