“Do you know what this is?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “Man is the line in the middle, and these lines to his side are the sicknesses and problems that assail him from all places. If one misses him, another will befall him. The square is his life span, at his neck; and the line outside it is (his) hope.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4231)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ خَطَّ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا وَخَطَّ خُطُوطًا وَسْطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وخُطُوطًا إِلَى الْخَطِّ الَّذِي وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وَخَطَّ خَطًّا خَارِجًا قَالَ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا» ؟ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الْإِنْسَانُ الْخَطُّ الْأَوْسَطُ وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ الَّتِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَعْرَاضُ تَنْهَشُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ إِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا أَصَابَهُ هَذَا وَالْخَطُّ الْمُرَبَّعُ الْأَجَلُ الْمُحِيطُ وَالْخَطُّ الْخَارِجُ الْأَمَلُ»
