Hadith 9825
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَرَزَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ غَرْزًا ثُمَّ غَرَزَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ آخَرَ ثُمَّ غَرَزَ الثَّالِثَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ وَهَذَا أَمَلُهُ يَتَعَاطَى الْأَمَلَ يَخْتَلِجُهُ الْأَجَلُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed an object in front of him, then placed another object beside it, and a third object a little farther away, and said: "Do you know what this is?" They said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is man, the object placed next to him is his death, and the one placed farther away is his hope. He continues to pursue his hope, but before he can reach it, death seizes him."
