[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said: There are three people whose prayers are not answered by Allah: a man who has a disobedient wife and does not divorce her, a man who has financial authority over someone and does not bear witness in his favor, and a person who gives his wealth to a foolish person even though Allah (ﷻ) has said, "And do not give the foolish your property" [Quran 4:5].

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يَدْعُونَ اللهَ فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ كَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ امْرَأَةٌ سَيِّئَةُ الْخُلُقِ فَلَمْ يُطَلِّقْهَا وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَالٌ فَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَى سَفِيهًا مَالَهُ وَقَدْ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمْ} [النساء 5]

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the saying of Allah (If you are in debt and cannot find a scribe, let there be a pledge taken in hand) until the end of the verse (Indeed, the first person to deny Adam was his son Dawood. He saw a man with bright shining light, and he said, 'O Lord, who is this?'). When death approached him and the angels came to him, he said, 'There are still forty years left of my life.' They said, 'You have given them to your son Dawood.' He said, 'I have not given anything to anyone.' So Allah brought out the book and the angels testified against him. Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us that Ahmad ibn Ubayd narrated to us, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Baghwiy, on the authority of Abu Salamah Musa ibn Ismail, on the authority of Hammad ibn Salamah, mentioning the meaning of this Hadith except that he said at the beginning of it, when the verse about debt was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, and at the end of it, and Adam lived a complete one thousand years and Dawood lived one hundred years.

“When Allah created Adam, He breathed the soul into him, then he sneezed and said: ‘All praise is due to Allah.’ So he praised Allah by His permission. Then His Lord said to him: ‘May Allah have mercy upon you O Adam. Go to those angels – to that gathering of them sitting – so say: 'As-Salamu alaikum.' They said 'Wa Alaikas-Salamu Wa Rahmatullah’. Then he returned to his Lord, He said: ‘This is your greeting and the greeting of your children among each other.’ Then Allah said to him – while His Two Hands were closed – ‘Choose which of them you wish.’ He said: ‘I chose the right My Lord and both of the Hands of my Lord are right, blessed.’ Then He extended it, and there was Adam and his offspring in it.’ So he said: ‘What are these O my Lord?’ He said: ‘These are your offspring?’ Each one of them had his age written between his eyes. But among them there was a man who was the most illuminating of them – or among the most illuminated of them. He said: ‘O Lord! Who is this?’ He said: ‘This is your son Dawud, I wrote forty years for him.’ He said: ‘O Lord! Add to his age.’ He said: ‘That is what I have written for him.’ He said: ‘O Lord! Give him sixty of my years.’ He said: ‘So you shall have it.’” He said: “Then, he resided in Paradise as long as Allah willed, then he was cast from it, so Adam was counting for himself.” He said: “So the Angel of death came to him, and Adam said to him: ‘You are hasty, one-thousand years were written for me.’ He said: ‘Of course! But you gave sixty years to your son Dawud.’ So he rejected, and his offspring rejected, and he forgot, and his offspring forgot.” He said: “So ever since that day, what is written and witnessed has been decreed.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3367)
