What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

“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.”

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When Allah created Adam He wiped his back and every person that He created among his offspring until the Day of Resurrection fell out of his back. He placed a ray of light between the eyes of every person. Then He showed them to Adam and he said: 'O Lord! Who are these people?' He said: 'These are your offspring.' He saw one of them whose ray between his eyes amazed him, so he said: 'O Lord! Who is this?' He said: 'This is a man from the latter nations of your offspring called Dawud.' He said: 'Lord! How long did You make his lifespan?' He said: 'Sixty years.' He said: 'O Lord! Add forty years from my life to his.' So at the end of Adam's life, the Angel of death of came to him, and he said: 'Do I not have forty years remaining?' He said: 'Did you not give them to your son Dawud?'" He said: "Adam denied, so his offspring denied, and Adam forgot and his offspring forgot, and Adam sinned, so his offspring sinned." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3076)

[AI] I said, "O Abu Abdullah al-Rahman, referring to Ibn Umar, there are people who claim that there is no fate (predestination). He said: Do we have anyone among us like them? I said, No. He said: Then convey to them from me that when you meet them, indeed Ibn Umar disassociates himself from you and you disassociate yourselves from him." Umar ibn al-Khattab narrated to us that while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man came who had no signs of travel nor was he from the people of the city. He came and sat in front of the Messenger of Allah. He said, "O Muhammad, what is Islam? He said, "Islam is that you bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and you establish prayer, give zakah, perform Hajj, perform Umrah, cleanse yourself from major impurity, complete ablution, and fast during Ramadan." He said, "If I do all of that, would I be a Muslim?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He asked, "O Muhammad, what is faith (imaan)?" He said, "Faith is that you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and you believe in the Day of Judgment, and you believe in fate, its good and its evil." He said, "If I do all of that, would I be a believer (mu'min)?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He asked, "O Muhammad, what is excellence (ihsan)?" He said, "Excellence is that you worship Allah as if you see Him, and even though you do not see Him, He sees you." He asked, "If I do that, would I be excellent (muhsin)?" He said, "Yes." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He asked, "O Muhammad, when is the Hour (Day of Judgment)?" He said, "Glory be to Allah, the one who is asked about it knows no more than the questioner, but if you wish, I will inform you about its signs." He said, "Yes." He said, "When you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings and when you see women giving birth to their mistresses, that is among the signs of the Hour." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then the man left, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Umar, do you know who this man was?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "This was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion."

قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنْ لَيْسَ قَدَرٌ قَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَنَا مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَأَبْلِغْهُمْ عَنِّي إِذَا لَقِيتَهُمْ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ بُرَآءُ مِنْهُ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ 

قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أُنَاسٍ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ سَحْنَاءُ سَفَرٍ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ يَتَخَطَّى حَتَّى وَرَكَ فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ 

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ «الْإِسْلَامُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنْ تُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجَّ وَتَعْتَمِرَ وَتَغْتَسِلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَأَنْ تُتِمَّ الْوُضُوءَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُسْلِمٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ وَالْمِيزَانِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُؤْمِنٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا الْإِحْسَانُ؟ قَالَ «الْإِحْسَانُ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ لِلَّهِ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ هَذَا فَأَنَا مُحْسِنٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

قَالَ فَمَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا الْمَسْؤُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ شِئْتَ نَبَّأْتُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا» قَالَ أَجَلْ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْعَالَةَ الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ وَكَانُوا مُلُوكًا» قَالَ مَا الْعَالَةُ الْحُفَاةُ الْعُرَاةُ؟ قَالَ «الْعُرَيْبُ» قَالَ «وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْأَمَةَ تَلِدُ رَبَّتَهَا فَذَلِكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ 

ثُمَّ نَهَضَ فَوَلَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ» فَطَلَبْنَاهُ كُلَّ مَطْلَبٍ فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَنْ هَذَا؟ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ لَيُعَلِّمَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ خُذُوا عَنْهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا شُبِّهَ عَلَيَّ مُنْذُ أَتَانِي قَبْلَ مَرَّتِي هَذِهِ وَمَا عَرَفْتُهُ حَتَّى وَلَّى»

“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)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ عَطَسَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ يَرْحَمُكَ رَبُّكَ يَا آدَمُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِلَى مَلَأٍ مِنْهُمْ جُلُوسٍ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالُوا وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ بَنِيكَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا وَيَدَاهُ مَقْبُوضَتَانِ اخْتَرْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْتُ يَمِينَ رَبِّي وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْ رَبِّي يَمِينٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ ثُمَّ بَسَطَهُمَا فَإِذَا فِيهِمَا آدَمُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ فَإِذَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ مَكْتُوبٌ عُمْرُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَضْوَؤُهُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَضْوَئِهِمْ لَمْ يَكْتُبْ لَهُ إِلَّا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا ابْنُكَ دَاوُدُ وَقَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عُمْرَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ زِدْهُ فِي عُمْرِهِ قَالَ ذَاكَ الَّذِي كَتَبْتُ لَهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Isha prayer, then he turned away, took me by the hand, and went out to the Batha, the Batha of Mecca. Then he drew a line around him—that is, around Abdullah ibn Masud—and then said: "Do not leave your line, and if anyone reaches you, do not speak to him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on to wherever he wished. While I was sitting within my line, men came to me as though they were the Zutt in their hair and bodies. They would not cross the line, then they would go on toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When it was near the end of the night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came while I was sitting, and he said: "These have troubled me tonight." Then he came in to me within my line, used my thigh as a pillow, and slept. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept, he would breathe audibly in sleep.

While I was sitting and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting his head on my thigh, suddenly I saw men who looked like men of the Hijaz. They wore white garments, and Allah knows best the beauty they possessed. A group of them sat by the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a group by his feet. Then they said among themselves, "We have never seen anyone given what this Prophet has been given. His eyes are asleep, but his heart is awake. So strike a parable for him." I think he said: "Of a man who built a palace, then prepared a banquet and invited people to his food. Whoever answered him ate from his food and drank from his drink, and whoever did not answer him, he punished him—or he was punished." Then they rose up.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke and said to me: "Did you hear what these said? And do you know who they are?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "They are the angels." He said: "Do you know the parable that they struck?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "The parable they struck is this: the Lord ﷻ built Paradise and called His servants to it. Whoever answered Him entered Paradise, and whoever did not answer Him, He punished him—or chastised him."

We do not know this hadith to be narrated from Abdullah except through this route. Al-Taymi narrated it and differed with Jafar ibn Maymun in its chain of transmission, saying: from Amr al-Bikali, from Abu Uthman.

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَطْحَاءِ بَطْحَاءَ مَكَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَطَّ عَلَيْهِ خَطًّا، يَعْنِي عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «لَا تَبْرَحَنَّ خَطَّكَ، فَإِنِ انْتَهَى إِلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ فَلَا تُكَلِّمْهُ». ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ أَرَادَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي خُطًى، إِذْ أَتَانِي رِجَالٌ كَأَنَّهُمُ الزُّطُّ، أَشْعَارُهُمْ وَأَجْسَادُهُمْ، لَا يُجَاوِزُونَ الْخَطَّ، ثُمَّ يَصِيرُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ، جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ آذَانِي هَؤُلَاءِ اللَّيْلَةَ». ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فِي خَطِّي، فَتَوَسَّدَ فَخِذِي فَرَقَدَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَقَدَ نَفَخَ النَّوْمَ نَفْخًا.

فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا قَاعِدٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَوَسِّدٌ فَخِذِي، إِذَا أَنَا بِرِجَالٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ الْحِجَازِ، عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ، اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ، فَجَلَسَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَطَائِفَةٌ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا بَيْنَهُمْ: مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا قَطُّ أُوتِيَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ، إِنَّ عَيْنَيْهَ نَائِمَةٌ وَقَلْبَهُ يَقْظَانُ، فَاضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا، أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: بِرَجُلٍ بَنَى قَصْرًا، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مَأْدُبَةً، وَدَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ أَكَلَ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ، وَشَرِبَ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عُوقِبَ. ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعُوا.

فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي: «سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُمْ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «هُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ». قَالَ: «فَتَدْرِي مَا الْمَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «مَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوا: الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَنَى الْجَنَّةَ، وَدَعَا إِلَيْهَا عِبَادَهُ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عَذَّبَهُ».

وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ التَّيْمِيُّ فَخَالَفَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ، وَقَالَ: عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْبِكَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ.

[AI] 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.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {إِذَا تَدَايَنْتُمْ بِدَيْنٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَاكْتُبُوهُ} [البقرة 282] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَحَدَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَرَاهُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ فَرَأَى رَجُلًا أَزْهَرَ سَاطِعًا نُورُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا ابْنُكَ دَاوُدُ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ فَمَا عُمُرُهُ؟ قَالَ سِتُّونَ سَنَةً قَالَ يَا رَبِّ زِدْ فِي عُمُرِهِ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَزِيدَهُ مِنْ عُمُرِكَ قَالَ وَمَا عُمُرِي؟ قَالَ أَلْفُ سَنَةٍ قَالَ آدَمُ فَقَدْ وَهَبْتُ لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ وَكَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابًا وَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَجَاءَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِي أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً قَالُوا إِنَّهُ قَدْ وَهَبْتَهُ لِابْنِكَ دَاوُدَ قَالَ مَا وَهَبْتُ لِأَحَدٍ شَيْئًا فَأَخْرَجَ اللهُ الْكِتَابَ وَشَهَّدَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ 20519 وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْبَغَوِيُّ ثنا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الدَّيْنِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَأَكْمَلَ لِآدَمَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَلِدَاوُدَ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ

“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)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللهُ آدَمَ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ عَطَسَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ رَحِمَكَ رَبُّكَ يَا آدَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا آدَمُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِلَى مَلَأٍ مِنْهُمْ جُلُوسٍ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَذَهَبَ قَالُوا وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ بَنِيكَ وَبَنِيهِمْ وَقَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَهُ وَيَدَاهُ مَقْبُوضَتَانِ اخْتَرْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ اخْتَرْتُ يَمِينَ رَبِّي وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْ رَبِّي يَمِينٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ ثُمَّ بَسَطَهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا آدَمُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ فَإِذَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مَكْتُوبٌ عُمُرُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَضْوَأُهُمْ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ أَضْوَئِهِمْ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ لَهُ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً فَقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ زِدْ فِي عُمُرِهِ قَالَ ذَاكَ الَّذِي كُتِبَ لَهُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَهُ مِنْ عُمُرِي سِتِّينَ سَنَةً قَالَ أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُسْكِنَ الْجَنَّةَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أُهْبِطَ مِنْهَا وَكَانَ آدَمُ يَعُدُّ لِنَفْسِهِ فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ قَدْ عَجَّلْتَ قَدْ كُتِبَتْ لِي أَلْفُ سَنَةٍ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ لِابْنِكَ دَاوُدَ مِنْهَا سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَجَحَدَ فَجَحَدَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ وَنَسِيَ فَنَسِيَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ أُمِرَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَالشُّهُودِ

[AI] I was sent by Ibn Ayyash bin Abi Rabia to Umar bin Abdul Aziz for his needs. I entered upon him and there was a scribe with him who was writing. I greeted him and he replied with greetings. Then, I said, "Peace be upon you, O Commander of the Faithful, and the mercy of Allah." He said, "O son of Ziyad, we do not deny the first thing you said." The scribe was reading to him the grievances that came from Basra. Then, he told me to sit, so I sat on a step near the door while he listened to the scribe reading. Umar was sighing heavily. When he finished, he dismissed everyone in the room until only I and him were present. He sat in front of me and placed his hands on my knees. Then, he said, "O son of Abi Ziyad, have you worn this armor?" I said, "Yes, I have a padded armor made of wool and I have rested from what we were in." Then, he asked me about the righteous men and women of Madinah, and he asked me about the matters he had commanded them in Madinah, and I informed him. Then, he said, "O son of Abi Ziyad, don't you see what has happened to me?" I said, "Rejoice, O Commander of the Faithful, for I hope good for you." He said, "Never, never." Then, he cried until I also mourned for him. I said, "O Commander of the Faithful, some of your actions are praiseworthy, for I hope good for you." He said, "Never, never. I neither insult nor am I insulted, I neither strike nor am I struck, I neither harm nor am I harmed." He said, and then he cried until I also mourned for him. So, I stayed until he fulfilled my needs, and he wrote to my master asking him to sell me, but he refused and then freed me.

وَرَدِفَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ: يَا بْنَ عَمِّ! مَالِىَ أَرَاكَ مُتَخَشِّعًا؟ أَسْبِلْ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِزَارُهُ إِلَى نِصْف سَاقِه، ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: هَكَذَا إِزْرَةُ صَاحِبنَا، فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ أُسَارَى الْمُسْلمِينَ إِلَّا بلَّغَهُمْ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ قَائِمُونَ نَادَى مُنَادِى رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ : أَيُّها النَّاسُ! الْبَيْعَةَ الْبَيْعَةَ؛ نَزَلَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ، فَسرنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَهُوَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ سَمُرَةٍ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللهِ: {لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ} (*)، قَالَ: فَبَايَعَ لِعُثْمَانَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى، فَقالَ النَّاسُ: هَنِيئًا لِأَبى عَبْدِ اللهِ؛ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَنَحْنُ هَاهُنَا، فَقالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : لَوْ مَكَثَ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَنَةً مَا طَافَ حَتَّى أَطُوفَ".

"عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ الله -تَعَالَى- خَلَقَ آدَمَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ جَعلَهُ دسا "طينًا" حَتَّى إِذَا كان حَمَأً مَسْنُونًا، خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ صَلصَالًا كَالْفَخَّارِ، فَكَانَ إِبْلِيسُ يُمرُّ بِهِ فَيَقُولُ: قد خُلِقْتَ لأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ، ثُمَّ يَنْفُخُ الله -تَعَالَى- مِنْ رَوحِهِ، فَكَان أَوَّلُ مَا جَرَى فِيهِ الرُّوحٌ بَصَرَهُ وَخَيَاشِمَهُ فَعَطَسَ، فَلَقَّاهُ الله -تَعَالَى- حَمْدَ ربِّه، فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: يَرْحَمُكَ الله رَبُّكَ، ثمَ قَالَ يَا آدَمُ: اذهَبْ إِلَى أُوَلئِكَ النَّفَرِ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا يَقُولُونَ؟ فَجَاءَ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ الله، فَجَاءَ إلَى ربِّه، فَقَالَ: مَاذَا قَالُوا لَكَ؟ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا قَالُوا لَهُ، قَالَ يَا رَبِّ: لَمَّا سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا: وَعَلَيْكَ الَّسَلامُ وَرَحْمَةُ الله، فَقَالَ: يَا آدَمُ هَذَا تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ، قَالَ يَا رَبِّ: وَمَا ذُرِّيَّتِى؟ قَالَ: اخْتر يَدَىَّ يَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: أخْتَارُ يَمِينَ ربِّى، وَكلتَا يَدَىْ ربِّى يَمينٌ، فَبَسطَ الله -تَعَالَى- كفَّيْهِ فَإذَا هُوَ كُل مَنْ هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ في كَفِّ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَإِذَا رِجَالًا مِنْهُمْ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ (النُّورُ) وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ تَعَجَّبَ آدَمُ مِنْ نُورِهِ، فَقَالَ يَا رَب: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: ابْنُكَ دَاوُدُ، قَالَ يَا رَب: فَكَمْ جَعَلْتَ لَهُ مِنَ الْعُمُرِ؟ قَالَ: جَعَلتُ لَهُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ فَأَتِمَّ لَهُ مِن عُمُرِى حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَهُ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ، فَفَعَلَ الله -تَعَالَى- ذلِكَ وَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا نفِدَ عُمُرُ آدَمَ، بَعَثَ الله -تَعَالَى- مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ: آدَمُ أو لَمْ

يَتَولَّ "يَبْقَ" مِنْ عُمُرِى أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ: أَلَمْ تُعْطِهَا ابْنَكَ دَاوُدَ؟ فَجَحَدَ ذَلِكَ، فَجَحَدَتْ ذُرِّيَّتهُ، وَنَسِىَ فَنَسِيَتْ ذُرِّيَّتهُ".
