(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخبرَنَا
عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَامِلَهُ ، فَنَكَتَهُنَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، فَقَالَ : " هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ " ، وَقَالَ : بِيَدِهِ خَلْفَ ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : " هَذَا أَجَلُهُ " ، قَالَ : وَأَوْمَأَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، قَالَ : وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ ، ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his fingers on the ground and said: "This is the son of Adam." Then he lifted them and placed them a little behind and said: "This is his death." Then he moved his hand forward and said three times: "These are his hopes."
