[Machine] When death approaches me, do not strike me forcefully, nor follow me with a burning torch. Hurry me quickly, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "When a righteous man is placed on his deathbed, he says: 'Advance me, advance me!' And when a wicked man is placed on his deathbed, he says: 'Oh woe to me, where are you taking me?'"  

أحمد:٧٩١٤ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ لَا تَضْرِبُوا عَلَيَّ فُسْطَاطًا وَلَا تَتْبَعُونِي بِمِجْمَرٍ وَأَسْرِعُوا بِي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا وُضِعَ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ قَالَ قَدِّمُونِي قَدِّمُونِي وَإِذَا وُضِعَ الرَّجُلُ السُّوءُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ قَالَ يَا وَيْلَهُ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ بِي؟
