حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

خَطَّ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا، وَخَطَّ خَطًّا وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ، وَخُطُوطًا إِلَى جَنْبِ الْخَطِّ الَّذِي وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ، وَخَطٌّ خَارِجٌ مِنَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ: هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ الْخَطُّ الْأَوْسَطُ، وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ الَّتِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَعْرَاضُ تَنْهَشُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، إِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا أَصَابَهُ هَذَا، وَالْخَطُّ الْمُرَبَّعُ الْأَجَلُ الْمُحِيطُ بِهِ، وَالْخَطُّ الْخَارِجُ الْأَمَلُ.

✧ He drew a square line, and drew a line in the middle of the square, and lines to the side of the line in the middle of the square, and a line extending outside the square. He said: Do you know what this is? They said: God and His Messenger know best. He said: This is the human being — the middle line — and these lines to its side are the afflictions that bite at him from every place; if this one misses him, that one strikes him. The square line is the term of life that surrounds him, and the line extending outside is his hope.
