(27) – باب الأَمَلِ وَالأَجَلِ
(27) – Hope and life span
Sunan Ibn Majah 4234
It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The son of Adam grows old but two things remain young in him: His craving for wealth and his craving for a long life.”
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : " يَهْرَمُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَيَشِبُّ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَانِ : الْحِرْصُ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالْحِرْصُ عَلَى الْعُمُرِ " .
