In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“Be ashamed of God as He deserves to be ashamed of.” They asked him what to do. He said: “If you are so, you cannot go to sleep without seeing death facing you. You should watch for your head and whatever is in it. You should watch for your stomach and what you pour in it. You should remember the grave and the affliction. Whoever wants the life of the Hereafter should abandon the adornments of the life of this world.”
من كتاب روضة الواعظين: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): استحيوا من الله حق الحياء، قالوا: وما نفعل يا رسول الله؟ قال: إن كنتم فاعلين فلا يبيتن أحدكم إلا وأجله بين عينيه، وليحفظ الرأس وما حوى، والبطن وما وعى، وليذكر القبر والبلى، ومن أراد الآخرة فليترك زينة الحياة الدنيا.
