    Chapter: Indifference towards this world

    حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، ‏:‏ بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏:‏ أَنَّهُ خَطَّ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا وَخَطًّا وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وَخُطُوطًا إِلَى جَانِبِ الْخَطِّ الَّذِي وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وَخَطًّا خَارِجًا مِنَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ ‏”‏ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا ‏:‏ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏”‏ هَذَا الإِنْسَانُ الْخَطُّ الأَوْسَطُ وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ الأَعْرَاضُ تَنْهَشُهُ أَوْ تَنْهَسُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا أَصَابَهُ هَذَا وَالْخَطُّ الْمُرَبَّعُ الأَجَلُ الْمُحِيطُ وَالْخَطُّ الْخَارِجُ الأَمَلُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

    It was
    narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) drew
    a
    square, and 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 outside the
    square, and he said: “Do you know what this is?” They said:
    “Allah and
    His Messenger know best.” He said: “Man is the line
    in the middle, and
    these lines to his side are the sicknesses and
    problems that assail
    him from all places. If one misses him, another
    will befall him. The
    square is his life span, at his neck; and the
    line outside it is (his)
    hope.”

    It was
    narrated that Hanzalah Tamimi Al-Usaiyidi, the scribe, said: “We
    were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we spoke of Paradise
    and
    Hell until it was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went
    to
    my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then
    I
    remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and
    said: ‘I have become a hypocrite!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘We all do
    that.’”
    So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ),
    who said: “O
    Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the
    angels would
    shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. O
    Hanzalah,
    there is a time for this and a time for that.”
