Hadith #300
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَامِلَهُ فَنَكَتَ
هُنَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ خَلْفَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ هَذَا أَجَلُهُ قَالَ وَأَوْمَأَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ وَثَمَّ أَمَلُهُ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ

حماد بن سلمة
English Translation
Bahz narrated to us: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, he said: 'Ubaydullah ibn Abi Bakr informed us from Anas (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered his fingertips and tapped them on the ground, then said: This is the son of Adam. Then he gestured with his hand and said: Then his appointed time comes — and he flung his hand far — then the hopes, the hopes!' — meaning man has great hopes despite the nearness of his death.
