- ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; my father narrated to us; Yazīd narrated to us; Hishām ibn Ḥassān informed us, on the authority of al-Ḥasan, who said: “Before Adam—peace be upon him—fell into sin, his appointed term was ever before his eyes while his hopes were behind his back. After he committed the sin, the order was reversed: his hopes stood before his eyes and his appointed term was set behind his back.”
٢٦٢ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: «كَانَ آدَمُ (عليه السلام) قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصِيبَ الْخَطِيئَةَ أَجَلُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَأَمَلُهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَصَابَ الْخَطِيئَةَ فَحُوِّلَ فَجُعِلَ أَمَلُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَأَجَلُهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ»
