2150. Mu'tarrif bin 'Abdullāh bin Ash-Shikh-khīr narrated from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Ibn Ādam was fashioned with ninety-nine calamities surrounding him, if the calamities miss him, he is stricken by decrepitude until he dies." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except through this route. Abū Al-'Awwām (a narrator in the chain) is 'Imrān [and he is Ibn Dāwūd] Al-Qaṭṭān.
٢١٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فِرَاسٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مُثِّلَ ابْنُ آدَمَ» وَإِلَى جَنْبِهِ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ مَنِيَّةً، إِنْ أَخْطَأَتْهُ الْمَنَايَا وَقَعَ فِي الْهَرَمِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَأَبُو الْعَوَّامِ هُوَ عِمْرَانُ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ دَاوَرَ الْقَطَّانُ.

Man has to suffer so many pains, adversities and diseases in life that could potentially lead him to death. In case he is able to outlive all these, then he is caught up in the thrall of decrepitude which would neither relent nor leave him until the last breath of his life. It is, therefore, only proper that we accept these happenings as part of the Divine Decree.
