عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - غَرَزَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ غَرْزًا ، ثُمَّ غَرَزَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ آخَرُ ، ثُمَّ غَرَزَ الثَّالِثُ فَأَبْعَدَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا ؟ " . قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : " هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ ، وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ ، وَهَذَا أَمَلُهُ ، يَتَعَاطَى الْأَمَلَ ، يَخْتَلِجُهُ الْأَجَلُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيِّ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) planted a (stick) in front of himself, then he planted another (stick) beside it, then he planted another (stick) but placed it a little farther away. Then he asked: Do you know what this is? The people said: Allah Almighty and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the human being, this is his death, and this is his hope (that is, his desires). These hopes (that is, desires) keep coming one after another, and in their midst, before they (end or are fulfilled), death comes."

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو - لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ - قَالَ : " صَلَاحُ أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بِالزَّهَادَةِ وَالْيَقِينِ ، وَهَلَاكُهَا بِالْبُخْلِ وَالْأَمَلِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ عِصْمَةُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ ، وَقَدْ ضَعَّفَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، وَوَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reports the following as a marfu' hadith.

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " اقْتِرَابُ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ تَكُونَ السَّنَةُ كَالشَّهْرِ ، وَالشَّهْرُ كَالْجُمُعَةِ ، وَالْجُمُعَةُ كَالْيَوْمِ ، وَالْيَوْمُ كَالسَّاعَةِ ، وَالسَّاعَةُ كَضَرَمَةِ نَارٍ ، وَلَيَنَامَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ وَأَجَلُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ " . قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ بِاخْتِصَارٍ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، عَنْ شَيْخِهِ : الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، وَقَدْ قِيلَ : إِنَّهُ وُثِّقَ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ وُثِّقُوا .
