Riyad as-Salihin, 575
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) drew a few lines and said, "One of them represents man and another indicates death; and a man continues like this until the nearest line (i.e., death) overtakes him." <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: خط النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خطوطا فقال: "هذا الإنسان، وهذا أجله، فبينما هو كذلك إذ جاء الخط الأقرب” ((رواه البخاري)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) We grow old and our hopes remain youthful. Blissful are those whose biggest hope is to win the pleasure of Allah Almighty.<br>
2) A person should hasten to repent, for death comes suddenly and his deeds will be his companion in the grave.<br>
3) Life does not cease to include afflictions, for it is the abode of trials, and the Hereafter is the abode of recompense.
