Hadith 5064

(1) His statement: Allah has left no excuse: The hamza is for negation, meaning Allah has removed the excuse from a person whose death He delayed until he reached sixty years, meaning there is no place left in him for excuse, as He has given him respite for this long period, and he did not reflect, nor repent from his sins, nor correct his faults, nor make his good overcome his evil, so he is among those for whom Allah has left no excuse in abandoning obedience and wasting his life. For the young says: I will repent when I grow old, but what does the old say? Gathered from (Al-Mirqat and Al-Lama’at)

(۱) قوله: أعذر الله : الهمزة للسلب، أي أزال الله العذر منهيا إلى امرئ آخر أجله حتى بلغه» بتشديد اللام أي أوصله ستين سنة» أي لم يبق فيه موضعا للاعتذار حيث أمهله طول هذه المدة، ولم يعتبر ولم يتب عن ذنوبه، ولم يقم بإصلاح عيوبه، ولم يغلب خيره شره، فيكون ممن لم يبق الله له عذرا في ترك الطاعة وفيما ضيع عمره، فإن الشاب يقول: أتوب إذا شخت، والشيخ ماذا يقول؟ التقطته من «المرقاة» و«اللمعات».
