Hadith 37887
٣٧٨٨٧ - حدثنا عفان قال: حدثنا حماد عن ثابت أن صفوان بن محرز كان له (خص فيه) (١) جذع، فانكسر الجذع، فقيل له: ألا تصلحه؟ فقال: دعه فإنما أموت غدا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Thabit that Hazrat Safwan bin Muhriz had a room made of cane in which there was a beam. Then the beam broke, so it was said to him, "Why don't you fix it?" He replied, "Leave it as it is, for I too am to die tomorrow."
