حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ ⦗٢٢٢⦘ مِنْكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ مُتَمَنِّيًا لِلْمَوْتِ، فَلْيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي.
Anas Narrated from:
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should long for death because of a calamity that had befallen him, and if he cannot, but long for death then he should say, 'O Allâh! Let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me.'" ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 362, Vol. 8)
