حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى عَنْ رَبِيْعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ خَطَّ خَطًّا مُرَبَّعًا وَخَطَّ خَطًّا وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وَخُطُوطًا إِلَى جَنْبِ الْخَطِّ الَّذِي وَسَطَ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ وَخَطٌّ خَارِجٌ مِنْ الْخَطِّ الْمُرَبَّعِ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ هَذَا الْإِنْسَانُ الْخَطُّ الْأَوْسَطُ وَهَذِهِ الْخُطُوطُ الَّتِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ الْأَعْرَاضُ تَنْهَشُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ إِنْ أَخْطَأَهُ هَذَا أَصَابَهُ هَذَا وَالْخَطُّ الْمُرَبَّعُ الْأَجَلُ الْمُحِيطُ بِهِ وَالْخَطُّ الْخَارِجُ الْأَمَلُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3652
It was narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ood (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) drew a square, and a line in the middle of the square, and lines beside 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: "This is man, the line in the middle, and these lines beside him are the sicknesses and problems that assail him from all places. If one misses him, another will befall him. The square is his death that is surrounding him and the line outside it is his hope."
