And Rasool-Allah -saww said on behalf of Allah -azwj , Majestic is His -azwj Majesty: ‘The grey hair is My -azwj Noor (Light), so I -azwj shall not Burn My -azwj Noor (Light) with My -azwj Fire!”’ [27] – وَ عَنْ حَازِمِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا بَلَغْتَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً فَاحْسُبْ نَفْسَكَ فِي الْمَوْتَى. And from Hazim Bin Habeeb Al Jufy who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘When you reach sixty (years), then reckon yourself as being from the dead’’.
[28] – قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَبْنَاءُ الْأَرْبَعِينَ زَرْعٌ قَدْ دَنَا حَصَادُهُ أَبْنَاءَ الْخَمْسِينَ مَا ذَا قَدَّمْتُمْ وَ مَا ذَا أَخَّرْتُمْ أَبْنَاءَ السِّتِّينَ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى الْحِسَابِ لَا عُذْرَ لَكُمْ أَبْنَاءَ السَّبْعِينَ عُدُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتَى. The Prophet -saww said: ‘The men of forty are a vegetation whose harvest has approached. Men of fifty, what are you sending ahead and what are you delaying? Come to the Reckoning, there is no excuse for you all!
Men of seventy, count yourselves as being from the dead!’’ [29] عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُكْرِمُ أَبْنَاءَ السَّبْعِينَ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الثَّمَانِينَ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ. From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Allah -azwj Honours the men of seventy and is too Embarrassed from men of eighty to be Punishing them’’.
