Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5269
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: خَطَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خُطُوطًا فَقَالَ: «هَذَا الْأَمَلُ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الْخَطُّ الأقربُ» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Anas Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم drew some lines. Then, he said, "This (middle line) is hope and this (all around) is man's term (of life). While he is in that state (living on hopes), the nearest line (of death) overtakes him." [2]
