Mishkat al-Masabih : 5272
Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5272
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَعْذَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَى امْرِئٍ أَخَّرَ أَجَلَهُ حَتَّى بَلَّغَهُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً» . رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah leaves no opportunity for one whose term of life He has delayed to let him reach the age of sixty to present any excuse (if he makes no repentance for his sins)." Or, "Allah has absolved Himself of being considered as unfair to a man whose life He has extended to permit him to reach sixty years of age (if he fails to repent in spite of the old age)."
