حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَفْوَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَزَالُ قَلْبُ الْكَبِيرِ شَابًّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ فِي حُبِّ الدُّنْيَا، وَطُولِ الأَمَلِ» قَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ وَابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدٌ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, “The heart of an old man remains young in two respects, i.e., his love for the world (its wealth, amusements and luxuries) and his incessant hope.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছি যে, বৃদ্ধ লোকের অন্তর দু’টি ব্যাপারে সর্বদা যুবক থাকে। দুনিয়ার প্রতি ভালবাসার ব্যাপারে আর দীর্ঘ আশার ব্যাপারে। আরেকটি হল উচ্চাকাঙ্ক্ষা। লায়স (রহ.) ..... সা’ঈদ ও আবূ সালামাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণনা করেছেন। [মুসলিম ১২/৩৮, হাঃ ১০৪৬, আহমাদ ১০৫১৯]

ہم سے علی بن عبداللہ مدینی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابوصفوان عبداللہ بن سعید نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے یونس نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابن شہاب نے بیان کیا کہ ہم کو سعید بن مسیب نے خبر دی اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا،

نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”بوڑھے انسان کا دل دو چیزوں کے بارے میں ہمیشہ جوان رہتا ہے، دنیا کی محبت اور زندگی کی لمبی امید۔“ لیث نے بیان کیا کہ مجھ سے یونس نے بیان کیا اور یونس نے ابن شہاب سے بیان کیا کہ مجھے سعید اور ابوسلمہ نے خبر دی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ali bin Abdullah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Shufwan Abdullah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yunus] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Sa'id bin Al Musayyab] bahwa [Abu Hurairah] radliallahu 'anhu berkata; saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Hati orang tua masih tetap berjiwa muda dalam dua perkara, yaitu; mencintai dunia dan panjang angan-angan."

[Al Laits] mengatakan; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yunus] dan [Ibnu Wahb] dari [Yunus] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Sa'id] dan [Abu Salamah]

Sahih al-Bukhari 6420, Book 81, To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq), Hadith 9. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that an elderly person grows older and his body weakens, but his heart remains young in its love for two things: First: The love of this world through the accumulation of wealth. Second: Longevity, lifespan, continued living, and enduring hopes.

What it teaches

  • Clarifying what humans are naturally inclined towards, which is the love of this world and long hopes.
  • Referring to the dispraise of long hopes and the eagerness to accumulate wealth. This implies the need to prepare for death, the merit of giving charity by the wealthy, and maintaining self-restraint by the poor.
  • The most beloved thing to a human being is his self, as he desires its preservation. Thus, he loves longevity and wealth, because wealth is one of the greatest means of sustaining health and pleasure. The more he feels he will lose this, the stronger his love and desire for its continuity become.
