The Hadith

The Prophet ﷺ drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it and let it extend outside the square and then drew several small lines attached to that central line, and said, "This is the human being, and this, (the square) is his lease of life, encircles him from all sides, and this (line), which is outside (the square), is his ambition, and these small lines are the calamities (which may befall him), and if one misses him another will get him (i.e. overtake) him, and if the other misses him, the next one will get him." -  Sahih al-Bukhari 6417
