“I shall eat death …”

 “I shall eat death …”

Haatim Al-Assam said:

ما من صباح إلا والشيطان يقول لي: ما تأكل؟ وما تلبس؟ وأين تسكن؟ فأقول: آكل الموت ,وألبس الكفن، وأسكن القبر

“Not a single morning passes without Satan asking me: “What will you eat [today]?”, “What will you wear?”, and “Where will you live?” I answer him: “I shall eat death; I shall wear a shroud; and I shall live in a grave.”

["Sifah At-Safwah", 4/162].
