Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5277
عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ» وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ بَسَطَ فَقَالَ: «وَثَمَّ أمله» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Anas Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "This is the son of Aadam عليه السلام and this (here) is his death." Then he put his hand on the back of his neck. Then spreading out his hand (to point to a distance), he said, "And there lies his hope." (He meant that man's death is very near while his hope is at a distance.) [3]
