‘A Sign That Life Is Short’



‘A Sign That Life Is Short’

Imam Ahmad said:


“The adhan is made in the baby’s ear at birth while the prayer is delayed till his death – A sign that his life is short just like the time between the adhan and the prayer.”


[Manaqib al-Imam Ahmad by Ibn al-Jawzi]

Note: The hadeeth referring on 'Adhaan in the newborn's ear is weak. For more information, please refer to this link
