وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " عُمْرُ الذُّبَابِ أَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً ، وَالذُّبَابُ كُلُّهُ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا النَّحْلَ " . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The life of a fly is forty days, and all flies will be in Hell except the honeybee."
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
