We went to pay a visit to Khabbab bin Al-Art and he had got himself branded at seven spots over his body. He said, "If Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not forbidden us to invoke Allah for death, I would have invoked for it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ  

I came to Khabbab who had been branded with seven brands(1) and he said, "Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ not forbidden us to invoke (Allah) for death, I would have invoked (Allah) for it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6349)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ»  

Isma'il ibn Qays said, "I came to Khabbab when he had been cauterised seven times. He said, 'If it had not been that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had forbidden us to pray for death, I would have done so.'"  

حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ  

Qays ibn Abi Hazm said, "We went to visit Khubbab after he had been cauterised seven times. He said, 'Our Companions who came before us have gone and this world did not cause the, loss. We have been struck by an affliction for which we find no place to put it down except the earth. If it were no that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade us to pray for death, we would pray for it.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
