English translation

4263. It was narrated from ‘Abdullâh bin Mas’ud that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If the appointed time of death of anyone of you is in a certain land, some need will cause him to go there, then when he reaches the furthest point that it is decreed he will reach, Allâh takes (his soul). And on the Day of Resurrection the earth will say: ‘My Lord, this is what You entrusted to me.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

4263 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ شَبَّةَ بْنِ عَبِيدَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِذَا كَانَ أَجَلُ أَحَدِكُمْ بِأَرْضٍ أَوْثَبَتْهُ إِلَيْهَا الْحَاجَةُ، فَإِذَا بَلَغَ أَقْصَى أَثَرِهِ، قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ، فَتَقُولُ الْأَرْضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: رَبِّ هَذَا مَا اسْتَوْدَعْتَنِي "

Commentary

Allâh’s knowledge is complete and perfect; He knows where a person will die, while the person himself does not know it. Allâh says: “And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allâh is Knowing and Acquainted.” Surat Luqmân 31:34.
