Is this narration authentic?
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Hasten to do good deeds before you are caught up by one of seven calamities awaiting you; Poverty which may impair your wisdom/ability to carry out good deeds, wealth which may mislead you, an ailment which may damage your health, old age which may harm your senses, a sudden death, the Dajjal (Antichrist), or Qiyamah which is indeed the hardest and most bitter.”
Answer:
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). He has graded the Hadith sound (hasanun gharib).
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2306)
