حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
خَطَّ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا ثُمَّ خَطَّ وَسَطَهُ خَطًّا ثُمَّ خَطَّ حَوْلَهُ خُطُوطًا وَخَطَّ خَطًّا خَارِجًا مِنَ الْخَطِّ فَقَالَ «هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ لِلْخَطِّ الْأَوْسَطِ وَهَذَا الْأَجَلُ مُحِيطٌ بِهِ وَهَذِهِ الْأَعْرَاضُ لِلْخُطُوطِ فَإِذَا أَخْطَأَهُ وَاحِدٌ نَهَشَهُ الْآخَرُ وَهَذَا الْأَمَلُ لِلْخَطِّ الْخَارِجِ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew a square line for us, then drew a line in its middle, then drew lines around it, and drew a line extending outside the line. Then he said, "This is the human being, for the middle line; and this is his lifespan, surrounding him; and these are his ailments, for the surrounding lines—if one misses him, another strikes him; and this is his hope, for the line extending outside."
