Majma al-Zawaid 17561 — Muslims who live long lives
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " مَنْ عَمَّرَهُ اللَّهُ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنْوَاعًا مِنَ الْبَلَايَا : الْجُذَامَ ، وَالْبَرَصَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : كَفَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنْوَاعًا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَالْجُذَامَ ، وَالْبَرَصَ وَحَنْقَ الشَّيْطَانِ ، وَمَنْ عَمَّرَهُ اللَّهُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَيَّنَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْحِسَابَ " .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) transmits this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever Allah Almighty grants forty years of life in Islam (that is, whoever reaches 40 years of age as a Muslim), Allah Almighty turns away from him various kinds of afflictions, such as leprosy and leucoderma. (Here a narrator named Abd al-Malik recorded these words in his narration:) Allah Almighty holds back from him various kinds of affliction, such as leprosy, leucoderma and the rage of Satan. And whoever Allah Almighty grants 50 years of life in Islam, Allah Almighty will take an easy reckoning from him."
