Explanation:
1:
This statement is rare;
the preserved (authentic) position is that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was sixty-three years old, as mentioned in the previous hadith.
It is possible that someone counted both the year of birth and the year of death as complete years,
and thus reported the age as sixty-five?
