Sahih Muslim 2352b (Book 43, Hadith 157) #13182
The Age of Three Great Men

SUMMARY: Mu'awiya was giving an address and mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar all died at the age of sixty-three.

Jabir reported that he heard Mu'awiya say in his address that Allah's Messenger died at the age of sixty-three, so was the case with Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I (am now) sixty-three.
وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ، جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلاَثٍ وَسِتِّينَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَأَنَا ابْنُ ثَلاَثٍ وَسِتِّينَ
