(لِمَاذَا يَبْقَى قَلْبُ الشَّيْخِ شَابًّا دَائِمًا؟)
(Why does the heart of an old man always remain young?)
Hadith 5271
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: لَا يَزَالُ قَلْبُ الْكَبِيرِ شَابًّا فِي اثْنَيْنِ: فِي حُبِّ الدُّنْيَا وَطول الأمل . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "The heart of an old person remains young in two things: in the love of the world and in long hopes." Agreed upon.
