English translation

2870. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated from his father that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do you know what the parable of this and this is?" - and he tossed two pebbles. They said: "Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ know better." He said: "This (the farther) one is the hope, and this closer) one is death." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.

Arabic text

٢٨٧٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذِهِ وَمَا هَذِهِ، وَرَمَى بِحَصَاتَيْنِ،» قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: هَذَاكَ الْأَمَلُ وَهَذَاكَ الْأَجَلُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

A person determines long-lasting desires and wishes, which have no possibility to be fulfilled in his life. While carrying wishes and desires in his heart, he leaves for the next life.
