Bukhari

Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it and let it extend outside the square and then drew several small lines attached to that central line, and said, "This is the human being, and this, (the square) in his lease of life, encircles him from all sides (or has encircled him), and this (line), which is outside (the square), is his hope, and these small lines are the calamities and troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses him, an-other will snap (i.e. overtake) him, and if the other misses him, a third will snap (i.e. overtake) him."

And Allah the Exalted has said «فمن زحزح عن النار وأدخل الجنة فقد فاز وما الحياة الدنيا إلا متاع الغرور»: "So whoever is saved from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. And the life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion." And (in Surah Al-Hijr) He said «ذرهم يأكلوا ويتمتعوا ويلههم الأمل فسوف يعلمون»: "O Prophet! Leave the disbelievers to eat and enjoy themselves, and let (false) hope deceive them, for soon they will know, when death comes upon them suddenly." Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The world is turning away and the Hereafter is approaching. Among mankind are those who seek the world and those who seek the Hereafter. So be among the seekers of the Hereafter, not the seekers of the world, for today is for deeds and not for reckoning, and tomorrow will be for reckoning and not for deeds. In Surah Al-Baqarah, the word «بمزحزحه» means «بمباعده», meaning "the remover."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet drew a few lines and said, "This is (man's) hope, and this is the instant of his death, and while he is in this state (of hope), the nearer line (death) comes to Him."
