Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the authenticity of the hadithAl-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 42:3 to the end of the hadith?
Answer:
The meaning of the hadith is correct, but as for its chain of narration, I do not recall its status at the moment. However, its meaning is correct: a person should seize these five things that Allah has made available to him before they are lost: youth before old age, health before illness, and leisure before busyness. A Muslim should seize these before they are lost. Yes.
