The Hadith of Shaddad Ibn ‘ad Ibn Iram

و عاش رجل من بني ضبة يقال له المسجاح بن سباع الضبي‌ دهرا طويلا فقال- لقد طوفت في الآفاق حتى‌ بليت و قد أنى لي لو أبي د و أفناني و لو يفنى نهار و ليل كلما يمضي يعود و شهر مستهل بعد شهر و حول بعده حول جديد
Also, a person from Bani Z’abbah who was called Majaah’ bin Sabaa’ Z’abbi lived for a long time and composed the following verses: I went around the earth many times I became weak and wished that I should have died And I was destroyed and if day And night are destroyed then they come back And a month comes after a month And a year comes after every year.
