Riyad as-SalihinHadith Number 585
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: “لا يتمنين أحدكم الموت لضر أصابه فإن كان لابد فاعلاً، فليقل: اللهم أحينى ما كانت الحياة خيراً لى، وتوفنى إذا كانت الوفاة خيراً لى” ((متفق عليه)).
Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Let none of you wish for death on account of an affliction that befalls him. If he has no alternative, let him pray: 'Allahumma ahyine ma kanatil-hayatu khairan li, wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khairan li (O Allah! Give my life so long as the life is good for me, and take away my life if death is good for me)'."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
