If somebody reaches sixty years of age, he has no right to ask Allāh for a new lease of life (to make up for his past shortcomings), for Allāh تعالى says: "...Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whoever would receive admonition — could receive it? And the warner (of Allāh) came to you..." (V.35:37)

6419 - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ بْنُ مُطَهَّرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مَعْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الغِفَارِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ المَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَعْذَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَى امْرِئٍ أَخَّرَ أَجَلَهُ، حَتَّى بَلَّغَهُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً» تَابَعَهُ أَبُو حَازِمٍ، وَابْنُ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنِ المَقْبُرِيِّ

    (1) (H. 6419) Such a person will not have the right to say, "If Allāh had given me another lease of life, I would have done good deeds," for he has been given a life long enough for him to do good deeds.
