Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) drew lines (in the sand) and said: "This (line) represents man, and this (line) represents the end of his life term, and while he is as such, the nearest line overtakes him." Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) drew a square and drew a line in the middle that extended out of it.

He drew some small lines on both sides of that central line, and said: "This is man (the line in the middle), and this is his life span encompassing him (the square). This line extending out of the square is his hope, and these small lines are the troubles and accidents that befall him. If this one misses him, that one snaps at him, and if this one misses him, that one snaps at him."

Source textOriginal Arabic
عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: خطَّ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خُطُوطاً، فقال: "هذا الإنسان، وهذا أجَلُهُ، فبينَما هو كذلكَ إذ جاءَ الخَطُّ الأقْرَبُ". عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: خطَّ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خطاً مربعاً، وخطَّ خطاً في الوسطِ خارجاً منه، وخطَّ خططاً صغاراً إلى هذا الذي في الوسطِ من جانبِه الذي في الوسطِ، فقال: «هذا الإنسانُ، وهذا أجلُهُ محيطاً بِه -أو قد أحاطَ بِه- وهذا الذي هو خارجٌ أملُهُ، وهذه الخُطَطُ الصِّغَارُ الأعْرَاضُ، فإن أخطَأهُ هذا، نَهَشَهُ هذا، وإن أخطَأهُ هذا، نَهَشَهُ هذا».
