(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى ، عَنْ رَبِيْعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ خَطَّ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا ، وَخَطَّ خَطًّا وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ ، وَخُطُوطًا إِلَى جَنْبِ الْخَطِّ الَّذِي وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ ، وَخَطٌّ خَارِجٌ مِنَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ ، قَالَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا ؟ " ، قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : " هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ ، الْخَطُّ الْأَوْسَطُ ، وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ الَّتِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَعْرَاضُ تَنْهَشُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ ، إِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا ، أَصَابَهُ هَذَا ، وَالْخَطُّ الْمُرَبَّعُ الْأَجَلُ الْمُحِيطُ بِهِ ، وَالْخَطُّ الْخَارِجُ الْأَمَلُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a square, then drew another line in the middle of it, and on the right and left of this middle line he drew some more lines, and he drew one line outside the square. He said to the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "Do you know what this is?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "The line in the middle refers to a human being, the lines on its right and left are the diseases that keep attacking a person; if one misses, another hits. The square refers to a person's death which surrounds him, and the outer line refers to hope."
