9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , Allah has granted an excuse to a servant by delaying his lifespan until he reaches the age of seventy or sixty.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى عَبْدٍ أَخَّرَ أَجَلَهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعِينَ أَوْ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever Allah grants him a life of sixty years, he is given an excuse for his lifespan."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ عَمَّرَهُ اللهُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْعُمُرِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever lives for sixty years, Allah has excused him in his life."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ سِتُّونَ سَنَةً فَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْعُمُرِ
[Machine] In His saying {Did We not give you long life, so that whosoever would receive admonition would receive it? And the warner came to you} [Surah Fatir 37]: it is mentioned that Ibrahim ibn al-Fadl al-Madani narrated that it is attributed to a period of sixty years, but it is not considered strong.
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ} [فاطر 37] قَالَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً هَذَا مَوْقُوفٌ وَرَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْمَدَنِيُّ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "On the Day of Judgment, it will be said: Where are the children of the sixties?" And it refers to the age that Allah mentioned in the Quran: "Have We not prolonged your life enough so that he who would receive admonition could receive it?" Ibn Abi Fudayk said, and Al-Hasan ibn Abdullah ibn Atiyyah narrated from someone who heard it from Ibn Abbas, who said: "It refers to the gray hair."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ قِيلَ أَيْنَ أَبْنَاءُ السِّتِّينَ؟ وَهُوَ الْعُمُرُ الَّذِي قَالَ اللهُ {أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ} [فاطر 37] 6521 قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ يَعْنِي بِهِ الشَّيْبَ
“The ages of (the people in) my nation will be between sixty and seventy, and few of them will exceed that.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4236)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْمَارُ أُمَّتِي مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى السَّبْعِينَ وَأَقَلُّهُمْ مَنْ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are two blessings in which many people are deceived: good health and free time." 6524
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ 6524
