عَن عبد الله قَالَ: خَطَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا وَخَطَّ خَطًّا فِي الْوَسَطِ خَارِجًا مِنْهُ وَخَطَّ خُطُطًا صِغَارًا إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِي فِي الْوَسَطِ مِنْ جَانِبِهِ الَّذِي فِي الْوَسَطِ وفقال: «هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ مُحِيطٌ بِهِ وَهَذَا الَّذِي هُوَ خَارِجُ أَمَلِهِ وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ الصِّغَارُ الْأَعْرَاضُ فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا نَهَسَهُ هَذَا وَإِنْ أخطأه هَذَا نهسه هَذَا» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
`Abdullah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم drew a square and a line in its Middle, totting it extend beyond it. He also drew some smaller lines reaching the middle line from both of its sides. Then, he said, "This is man and this is his term, encircling him from all sides. This one that is outside is his hope. These smaller lines are the disasters (that may befall him). If this one misses him that one seizes him. If that one misses him, then this third one seizes him." [1]
