Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you wishes for something, he should look to what he desires. He does not know what he will be given."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يَتَمَنَّى فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا يُعْطَى

Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ not stated this.." None should make a request for death," I would have definitely done that.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Let one of you look at what it is that he wishes for. For verily, he does not know what of his wish shall be recorded.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِيَنْظُرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا الَّذِي يَتَمَنَّى فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا يُكْتَبُ لَهُ مِنْ أُمْنِيَّتِهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
