Adam gives sixty years of his life to Dawud
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When Allah created Adam and breathed the spirit into him, he sneezed and said: Praise be to Allah. So he praised Allah by His permission, and his Lord said to him: May Allah have mercy on you, O Adam. Go to those angels, to a group of them sitting, and say: Peace be upon you. They said: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Then he returned to his Lord, and He said: This is your greeting and the greeting of your children among themselves."
"Then Allah said to him, while His two hands were closed: Choose whichever of them you wish. He said: I choose the right hand of my Lord, and both hands of my Lord are right, blessed. Then He opened it, and behold, in it were Adam and his offspring. He said: O my Lord, who are these? He said: These are your offspring. Then every person had his lifespan written between his eyes, and among them was a man who was the brightest of them, or among the brightest of them. He said: O my Lord, who is this? He said: This is your son Dawud; I have written for him a lifespan of forty years. He said: O my Lord, increase his lifespan. He said: That is what I have written for him. He said: O my Lord, I have given him sixty years from my lifespan. He said: You may do so."
"He said: Then he was made to dwell in Paradise for as long as Allah willed, then he was sent down from it, and Adam used to count for himself. He said: The Angel of Death then came to him, and Adam said to him: You have come too soon; a thousand years were written for me. He said: Yes, but you gave sixty years to your son Dawud. So he denied, and his offspring denied; and he forgot, and his offspring forgot. He said: From that day onward, writing and witnesses were commanded."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ، وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ، عَطَسَ، فَقَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِإِذْنِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ يَا آدَمُ، اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُولَئِكَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ، إِلَى مَلإٍ مِنْهُمْ جُلُوسٍ، فَقُلِ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ. قَالُوا: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ. ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ بَنِيكَ بَيْنَهُمْ.»
«فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَيَدَاهُ مَقْبُوضَتَانِ: اخْتَرْ أَيَّهُمَا شِئْتَ. قَالَ: اخْتَرْتُ يَمِينَ رَبِّي، وَكِلْتَا يَدَىْ رَبِّي يَمِينٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ. ثُمَّ بَسَطَهَا، فَإِذَا فِيهَا آدَمُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَىْ رَبِّ، مَا هَؤُلاَءِ؟ فَقَالَ: هَؤُلاَءِ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ. فَإِذَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مَكْتُوبٌ عُمْرُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَضْوَؤُهُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَضْوَئِهِمْ. قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا ابْنُكَ دَاوُدُ، قَدْ كَتَبْتُ لَهُ عُمْرَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، زِدْهُ فِي عُمْرِهِ. قَالَ: ذَاكَ الَّذِي كَتَبْتُ لَهُ. قَالَ: أَىْ رَبِّ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَهُ مِنْ عُمْرِي سِتِّينَ سَنَةً. قَالَ: أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ.»
«قَالَ: ثُمَّ أُسْكِنَ الْجَنَّةَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ أُهْبِطَ مِنْهَا، فَكَانَ آدَمُ يَعُدُّ لِنَفْسِهِ. قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ: قَدْ عَجِلْتَ؛ قَدْ كُتِبَ لِي أَلْفُ سَنَةٍ. قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنَّكَ جَعَلْتَ لاِبْنِكَ دَاوُدَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، فَجَحَدَ فَجَحَدَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ، وَنَسِيَ فَنَسِيَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ. قَالَ: فَمِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ أُمِرَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَالشُّهُودِ.»
