صحيح البخاري

كتاب الرقاقThe Book of Ar-Riqaq (Softening of The Hearts)
بَابُ مَنْ بَلَغَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْعُمُرِ:Chapter. If somebody reaches sixty years of age, he has no right to ask Allah for a new lease of life (to make up for his past shortcomings), for Allah says: "...Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whoever would receive admonition - could receive it? And the warner (of Allah) came to you..." (V.35:37)

In this hadith, the reality of the elderly person is described: that a human’s body and emotions may become old, yet his love for wealth and life remains youthful—that is, the love for these two things troubles him in old age just as it did in youth. And we observe this ourselves, that elderly people have a great love for wealth.
