Arabic text

4232 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ، وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ عِنْدَ قَفَاهُ» ، وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ أَمَامَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ»

Commentary

A person's death is very near compared to his ambitions, so one should properly prepare to face his death. Neglecting the Hereafter by being busy in worldly matters is a great form of foolishness.
