Holy Prophet Replied, "Praise and thank Allah".

How come many atheists live long lives?

[Arabian Princess]

Its Allah's will for them to live long life, plus long life does not mean you will 'REALLY" live this long live here on earth, it means that you will be placed in a better long life there in heaven. Ameen

You made it sound like you got it as a spam e-mail, Arby? How were we to know?

OK, I'm interested. Who are the people involved in the story ?
BismAllah Alrahman alraheem
Enes Ibn Malik
a Bedouin (what was his name?)
the Messenger of Allah (what was his name?)

[arabian-brain]

The messenger is the Prophet Mohammed piece be upon him

The Bedouin is a man from the public at that time. He just had some questions and he seemed confuses about it. So he went to the Prophet piece be upon him.

Wanderer,
I dont mind anyone asking any question to learn .. but I find it offensive to put an effort to open a good discussion and people start making jokes around something that Prophet MOhammed peace be upon him said.

OK .. you started nicly .. who are those people:
Enas ibn Malik: one of the prophet companions, this saying of the prophet is reported by him (the sayng cannot be accepted unless it is reported by a truthful and trusted companion of the prophet)

Massanger of Allah: Prophet Mohammed son of Abdullah who sent to earth to bring the message of ISLAM.

Bedioun: people who live in the desert and as arabin brain said, he is a member of the public who follwed Prophet MOhammed peace be upon him.

I hope it is good defentions?!

Slaps self on head.

Sorry I didn't properly interpret "the Messenger of Allah" as the Prophet Mohammed. I was thinking it was an Angel or a spirit ghost.
