The Hadith of Shaddad Ibn ‘ad Ibn Iram

و عاش الجعشم بن عوف بن حذيمة دهرا طويلا فقال- حتى متى الجعشم في الأحياء ليس بذي أيد و لا غناء هيهات ما للموت من دواء
Ja’sham bin Auf bin Hudhaimah lived for a long period and composed the following verses: Till when would Ja’tham have lived among alive? Who neither had anyone to support him and nor was he rich Alas, there is not medicine for death.
