Hadith on Qadr: Righteousness increases life span, repels evil fate

Thawban reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The span of life is not increased but by righteousness, and the divine decree is not repelled but by supplication. Verily, a man is deprived of provision due to the sins he commits.
