2334. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "This is the son of Ādam, and this is his lifespan." And he placed his hand at the (height of the) nape of his neck, then he extended it (higher) and said: "From there is what is hoped for, from there is what is hoped for." (Sahīh) There is a narration on this topic from Abū Sa’eed. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh.

Arabic text

٢٣٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ ‌حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ قَفَاهُ، ثُمَّ بَسَطَهَا،» فَقَالَ: وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ.

Commentary

Man’s lifespan is limited and his death is at hand, but his hopes and desires are extended far beyond, but while he tries to reach there, the ‘appointed hour’ approaches and tolls the end of all his dreams and plans.
