10. Book of Funerals
١٠۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ وَمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِهَا مُقَدَّمًا أَوْ مُؤَخَّرًا
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ أَنْ يُطَوِّلَ الْمَرْءُ أَمَلَهُ فِي عِمَارَةِ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الزَّائِلَةِ الْفَانِيَةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while my mother and I were fixing something separately for ourselves. He said, "What is this, Abdullah?" I said, "It is something we are fixing for ourselves." He said, "There are more urgent matters than this."
مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَأُمِّي نُصْلِحُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ خُصٌّ لَنَا نُصْلِحُهُ فَقَالَ «الْأَمْرُ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «الْأَمْرُ أَسْرَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ» لَمْ يَرِدْ بِهِ عَلَى الْبَتَاتِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon me when we were repairing our cottage that was broken. He asked: What is this? We replied: This cottage of ours has broken and we are repairing it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I see that the command is quicker than that. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5236)
مَرَّ بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُ خُصًّا لَنَا فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟ » فَقُلْنَا خُصٌّ لَنَا وَهَى فَنَحْنُ نُصْلِحُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَرَى الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا أَعْجَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ تَقْرِيبِ أَجَلِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَتَبْعِيدِ أَمَلِهِ عَنْهَا
"This is the son of Adam, and this is his life-span." And he placed his hand at the (height of the) nape of his neck, then he extended it (higher) and said:" From there is what is hoped for, from there is what is hoped for." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2334)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ» وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ «وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ»
