3550. Abū Hurairah narrates, saying: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The lifespan of my nation is between sixty to seventy, and the least of them are those who surpass that."[1] (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb Hasan as a narration of Mūḥammad bin 'Amr from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. We do not know of it except through this route. It has been reported from Abū Hurairah through other routes.
٣٥٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْمَارُ أُمَّتِي مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى السَّبْعِينَ»، وَأَقَلُّهُمْ مَنْ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Usually the natural age of Muslims is between sixty to seventy years as the age of the first two rightly-guided Caliphs, but the age of 'Uthmān was seventy plus. The bottom line of this narration is that maximum benefit should be availed from ones lifespan whatever it is.
