Arabic text

3110 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، أَوْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ مَرَّةً: عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ مَرَّةً: عَنْ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: «مَوْتُ الْفَجْأَةِ أَخْذَةُ أَسَفٍ»

Commentary

If a man falls ill and slowly and gradually proceeds towards death, he has a chance to make amends and repent. A sudden death, however, eliminates all such possibility.
