اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: خَطَّ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا خَطًّا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "هَذَا سَبِيلُ اللَّهِ"، ثُمَّ خَطَّ خُطُوطًا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "هَذِهِ سُبُلٌ عَلَى كُلِّ سَبِيلٍ مِنْهَا شَيْطَانٌ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ تَلَا: وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ سورة الأنعام آية 153".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line before us and said: “This is the path of Allah.” Then he drew lines to its right and left and said: “These are the (other) paths; on each path there is a devil calling towards it.” Then he recited this verse: «﴿وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ﴾» [انعام: 153/6] “This is My path, which is straight, so follow it, and do not follow other paths, for they will separate you from Allah’s path.”

Explanation & Benefits
Bukhari — Hadith 6417
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it and let it extend outside the square and then drew several small lines attached to that central line, and said, "This is the human being, and this, (the square) in his lease of life, encircles him from all sides (or has encircled him), and this (line), which is outside (the square), is his hope, and these small lines are the calamities and troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses him, an-other will snap (i.e. overtake) him, and if the other misses him, a third will snap (i.e. overtake) him."
Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
The structure of this diagram is arranged as follows:
The inner line represents the human being, who is surrounded on all sides by difficulties, and the enclosing line represents his death. The line extending outward signifies his greed and desires, which remain unfulfilled when death arrives.
Such is the condition of this brief worldly life.

Tirmidhi — Hadith 2454
´'Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) drew a square line (on the ground) forus, and in the middle of the (square) line he drew another line, and he drew another line going out of the (square) line.Around the one that was in the middle, he drew (various) lines. Then he said:` 'This is the son of Adam, and this is his life-span encircling him, and this one in the middle in the person, and these lines are his obstacles, if he escapes this one, this one ensnares him, and the line extending outside is his hope.'"
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The meaning of this hadith is that if, on one hand, a person's life is filled with desires, then on the other hand, he is surrounded from all sides by calamities. He contends with these calamities in the pursuit of fulfilling his desires, yet he possesses an extensive and unending chain of hopes and aspirations. His desires remain incomplete when the iron grip of death seizes him in its clutches. It is as if death is closer to a person than anything else. Therefore, a person should not remain heedless of it.

Ibn Majah — Hadith 4231
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) drew a square, and a line in the middle of the square, and lines to the side of the line in the middle of the square, and a line outside the square, and he said:` “Do you know what this is?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “Man is the line in the middle, and these lines to his side are the sicknesses and problems that assail him from all places. If one misses him, another will befall him. The square is his life span, at his neck; and the line outside it is (his) hope.”
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Imam Nawawi rahimahullah, in Riyadh al-Salihin, drew two diagrams to clarify this example. In his opinion, the diagram made by the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam corresponded to one of these two. Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah also mentioned five other views and drew diagrams according to them. See: (Fath al-Bari: 11/258)

➋
Difficulties and hardships are inevitable in a person's life. Just as a poor person faces difficulties, so too do the rich—even kings—face hardships, although their nature is according to their circumstances.

➌
These hardships are a test for a person; therefore, one should strive to remain steadfast on the straight path.

➍
A person has many desires, plans, and aspirations—some of them are fulfilled, and some are not. Therefore, one should remember death, which is certain to come, though it is not known when it will arrive.
