Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 3349 — an increase in lifespan was mentioned
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، قَالَ : نَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مُسَرَّحٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي مَشْجَعَةَ بْنِ رِبْعِيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ : ذُكِرَ زِيَادَةُ الْعُمُرِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا تُؤَخَّرُ نَفْسٌ إِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهَا ، وَإِنَّمَا زِيَادَةُ الْعُمُرِ : الذُّرِّيَّةُ الصَّالِحَةُ يَرْزُقُهَا اللهُ الْعَبْدَ ، فَتَدْعُو لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، فَيَلْحَقُهُ دُعَاؤُهُمْ فِي قَبْرِهِ ، فَذَلِكَ زِيَادَةُ الْعُمُرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that an increase in lifespan was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a soul's appointed term comes, it is not delayed. Rather, the increase in lifespan is that Allah Almighty grants the servant righteous offspring, who then keep supplicating for him after him, and their supplication keeps reaching him in his grave; that is the increase in lifespan."
