- [5671 ] عنْ أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم (( لا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الموْتَ مِنْ ضُرٍّ أَصَابَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لا بُدَ فَاعِلًا فَلْيَقُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي ؛ وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي ))
The Wish to Die
The Wish to Die حكم تمنى الموت
Narrated Anas bin Malik
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: “O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me.’ “
- [5672 ] عَنْ قَيْسِ بنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا الَّذِينَ سَلَفُوا مَضَوْا وَلَمْ تَنْقُصْهُمُ الدُّنْيٍا وَإِنَّا أَصَبْنَا مَا لا نَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا إِلا التُّرَابَ ؛ وَلَوْلا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ ؛ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَهُوَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ فَقَالَ : (( إِنَّ المُسْلِمَ لَيُؤجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُنْفِقُهُ إِلا فِي شَيْءٍ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي هَذَا التُّرَابِ ))
Narrated Qais bin Abi Hazim
We went to pay a visit to Khabbab (who was sick) and he had been branded (cauterized) at seven places in his body. He said, “Our companions who died (during the lifetime of the Prophet) left (this world) without having their rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we find no way to spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the Prophet not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have wished for it.’ We visited him for the second time while he was building a wall. He said, A Muslim is rewarded (in the Hereafter) for whatever he spends except for something that he spends on building.”
