Summary
The narration is judged weak (dhaif). It appears in al-Suyuthi's al-Jami' al-Saghir, but its chain is graded weak in al-Siraj al-Munir and by al-Albani and al-Halabi. Other authentic hadiths on reaching age 60 state that Allah accepts no excuse from one given a long life, so that the years are used for obedience and good deeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Untuk itu, kami cenderung bahawa riwayat tersebut adalah dhaif.
