Supplication upon reaching the extreme old age
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh said, in the hadith of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding the knowledge from which all of it is borrowed, a person can rid himself of it after the women have gone, but can a person benefit himself, or how is that?
Answer:
He supplicates to Allah regarding rights and what he is unable to ward off from himself, but he asks Allah not to return him to extreme old age, and Allah is capable of all things, because he has no benefit in reaching extreme old age; rather, it is a harm to him, and he gains no benefit.
