[Machine] We were sitting on a rooftop with a man from the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . He said, "I know only one of them, Abas Al-Ghafari, and people are going out during the plague." Abas said, "O plague, take me three times." Ali asked him, "Why do you say this? Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'None of you should wish for death because of a calamity that befalls him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me'?" Abas replied, "Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Hasten to meet death in six instances: The rule of fools, abundance of police, selling judgments, belittling of bloodshed, cutting off kinship ties, and when people make the Qur'an into songs, and they consider it as if they are singing it, even if there are others among them who have more knowledge than them.'"  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عَلَى سَطْحٍ مَعَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَزِيدُ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَبْسًا الْغِفَارِيَّ وَالنَّاسُ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ عَبَسٌ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي ثَلَاثًا يَقُولُهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُلَيْمٌ لِمَ تَقُولُ هَذَا؟ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَإِنَّهُ عِنْدَ انْقِطَاعِ عَمَلِهِ وَلَا يُرَدُّ فَيُسْتَعْتَبَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بَادِرُوا بِالْمَوْتِ سِتًّا إِمْرَةَ السُّفَهَاءِ وَكَثْرَةَ الشُّرَطِ وَبَيْعَ الْحُكْمِ وَاسْتِخْفَافًا بِالدَّمِ وَقَطِيعَةَ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْوًا يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَهُ يُغَنِّيهِمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْهُمْ فِقْهًا
