The Hadith of Shaddad Ibn ‘ad Ibn Iram

Qirdah bin Thalaba bin Nafasha Sulooli lived for one hundred and thirty years during the time of ignorance. Then he saw the period of Islam and accepted it. Masaad bin Junaab bin Maraarah was from the progeny of Amr bin Yarboo’ bin Hanzala bin Zaid bin Munaah and he lived for a hundred and forty years. Qus bin Saada Ayaadi lived for six hundred years and he was one who composed the following verses: Does a raining cloud take peace away from a person who is in a bad condition? Or it showers favor on him? Whatever has passed away and lost from the hands then There is no use of lamenting and saying, “Only if, it would have been such”. Similarly, Lubaid says: And Qus said “Only if” and “If I would have been such” He left Luqman the wise behind by saying that. Harith bin Kaab Madhh’aji lived for one hundred and sixty years.
