Abu Huraira said that the Prophet said: The most truthful couplet recited by a poet is that of Labeed bin Rabiah who said: "Verily be aware, besides the Almighty Allah, everything else is futile" [Shamaa il Tirmidhi # 232] A couplet is a pair of successive lines. In the commentary to this hadith the full couplet is given, but it's order is not. I've placed them in order (possibly correctly) and they read: "Every gift (or blessing) must at some time come to an end Verily be aware, besides the Almighty Allah, everything else is futile"
