حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ بَسَطَهَا فَقَالَ وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2334
Anas bin Malik narrated thath the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “this is the son of Adam, and this is his lifespan.” 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.” (Sahih)\there is a narration on this topic from Abu Saeed. [Abu Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
