أحمد:٥٩١١حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَلُكُمْ فِي أَجَلِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا إِنَّ مَثَلَ آجَالِكُمْ فِي آجَالِ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مُغَيْرِبَانِ الشَّمْسِ

الطبراني:١٣٢٨٥حَدَّثَنَا مَسْعَدَةُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْعَطَّارُ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ ثنا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا أَجَلُكُمْ فِيمَا خَلَا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ»
