Live life with courage and integrity so as to make sure we are prepared for our ultimate destination when our time comes.

This hadith speaks to the inevitability of death and how it does not discriminate between the brave and the cowardly. It was related by Malik that Yahya ibn Said had heard from A'isha that Amir ibn Fuhayra said at a time of epidemic “I have seen death before tasting it, the coward's destination is from above him”. This statement implies that even if one is cowardly they cannot escape death. It also suggests that no matter what one’s character or behavior may be in life, everyone will eventually face death as an equalizer. This hadith serves as a reminder to live life with courage and integrity so as to make sure we are prepared for our ultimate destination when our time comes.
