21. Funerals
٢١۔ كتاب الجنائز
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: No one of you should wish for death for any calamity that befalls him, but he should say: O Allah! cause me to live so long as my life is better for me ; and cause me to die where death is better for me.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَدْعُوَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالْمَوْتِ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي
The Prophet ﷺ as saying: No one of you should wish for death. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition in a similar manner.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ
