حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَي، حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذِهِ وَمَا هَذِهِ ؟ وَرَمَى بِحَصَاتَيْنِ " ، قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : " هَذَاكَ الْأَمَلُ وَهَذَاكَ الْأَجَلُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buraidah:` from his father that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Do you know what the parable of this and this is?" - and he tossed two pebbles. They said: "Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) know better." He said: "This (the farther) one is hope, and this (closer) one is death."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
It is understood that a human being has many desires, and he remains restless in the pursuit of fulfilling these desires. Many of his hopes are yet to be realized, and suddenly death seizes him in its iron grip. It is as if a person says that he will fulfill all his desires before death, whereas such a thing is impossible.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Basheer bin Muhajir is a narrator who is weak in hadith.)
