Hadith #456
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ حَسَّانَ أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَارَةُ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أ
َخَذَ ثَلَاثَ حَصَيَاتٍ فَوَضَعَ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أُخْرَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَرَمَى بِالثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ آدَمَ وَهَذَا أَجَلُهُ وَذَاكَ أَمَلُهُ الَّتِي رَمَى بِهَا

English Translation
Abd al-Samad ibn Hassan narrated to us, Umarah informed us, from Thabit, from Anas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took three pebbles. He placed one down, then placed another in front of it, and threw the third aside. He said: "This is the son of Adam, this is his appointed term, and that is his hope." He reaches for his hope, but his appointed term comes to him before his hope.
