Hadith #410
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا النَّهَّاسُ عَنْ شَدَّادٍ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ قَالُوا لِمَ تَقُولُ هَذَا أَلَ
يْسَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَزِيدُهُ طُولُ الْعُمُرِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا قَالَ بَلَى فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ
