Sahih al-Bukhari 6421 (Book 81, Hadith 10) #6170
Growing Old with Desires

SUMMARY: The desires of humans to have wealth and a long life grow old with them.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Messenger said, "The son of Adam (ie man) grows old and so also two (desires) grow old with him, ie, love for wealth and (a wish for) a long life".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ يَكْبَرُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَيَكْبَرُ مَعَهُ اثْنَانِ حُبُّ الْمَالِ، وَطُولُ الْعُمُرِ ‏"‏‏.‏ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the inevitability of growing old and how two desires, love for wealth and a wish for a long life, also grow old with us. As we age, our desire for material possessions and longevity will naturally decrease. This hadith serves as an important reminder that we should not be too attached to worldly things or worry too much about our mortality. Instead, we should focus on living in the present moment and making the most out of every day that we are given. We should strive to make meaningful connections with others while also taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
