Explanation of the hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: (The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line and said, "This is the person," and drew a line beside it and said, "This is his term," and drew another line far away...)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second or following hadith is in the same sense as the previous hadith, but it perhaps clarifies a point more than the previous hadith. He says:
And from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line and said: "This is the person," and drew a line beside it and said: "This is his term" خط رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خطاً وقال : هذا الإنسان ، وخط إلى جنبه خطاً وقال : هذا أجله

This phrase is clearer in the previous hadith than here.
He drew a line beside it and said: "This is his term" خط إلى جنبه خطاً وقال هذا أجله
: Whereas in the previous hadith, it was a surrounding square line that encircled the person from all sides.
And he drew another line far away from it and said: "This is the hope" وخط آخر آخر بعيداً منه فقال : هذا الأمل
: And it is the line coming out of the square.
and while he is in this state (of hope), the nearer line (death) comes to Him. فبينما هو كذلك إذ جاءه الأقرب
Sahih al-Bukhari 6418
: Here, it is one of the small lines that gnaw at the person who is surrounded by his term, but he says:
the nearer line (death) comes to Him فبينما هو كذلك إذ جاءه الأقرب فأهلكه وأماته
Sahih al-Bukhari 6418
: This is the wording of the hadith from the narration of al-Bukhari, as the author says: "It was narrated by al-Bukhari, and the wording is his, and al-Nasa'i with similar wording".
