Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 5251
وَعَن مَحْمُود بن لبيد أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: " اثْنَتَانِ يَكْرَهُهُمَا ابْنُ آدَمَ: يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَالْمَوْتُ خَيْرٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَيَكْرَهُ قِلَّةَ الْمَالِ وَقلة المَال أقل لِلْحسابِ ". رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
Mahmud ibn Labid Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Two things are such that the son of Aadam عليه السلام dislikes. He dislikes death, though death is better for the believer than trial. - And he dislikes little (wealth and) property, though meager wealth is a means of a lighter reckoning."
