2456. Muṭarṭif bin ‘Abdullāh bin Ash-Shikh-khīr narrated from his father from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “The case of the son of Ādam is such that he is surrounded by ninety-nine calamities, if the calamities miss him, he falls into decrepitude.”[1] (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ [Gharīb].

Arabic text

٢٤٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فِرَاسٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ وَهُوَ عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مُثِّلَ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَإِلَى جَنْبِهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ مَنِيَّةً» إِنْ أَخْطَأَتْهُ الْمَنَايَا، وَقَعَ فِي الْهَرَمِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary

Man's whole structure has been so fashioned in the primordial state that he is as if in a camp encircled by ninety-nine calamities and diseases, anyone of which could cause his death at any time or moment. Should he survive all of these, there is last of all the incurable disease of old age which, when it comes, does not part company until death.
