[Machine] "We came to Khabbab seeking his advice, and he was suffering from seven ulcers in his stomach. He said, 'If it weren't for the Prophet ﷺ prohibiting us from praying for death, I would have prayed for it. Then Khabbab mentioned the companions who had already passed away, saying that they did not benefit from their rewards at all. We, who continue to live, will only benefit from what we earn until we acquire something in this world that none of us knows how to deal with except to spend it in the path of Allah. Indeed, a Muslim will be rewarded for everything except what he spends on the ground.'"  

أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا وَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّهُمْ مَضَوْا لَمْ يَأْكُلُوا مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا بَقِينَا بَعْدَهُمْ حَتَّى نِلْنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا لَا يَدْرِي أَحَدُنَا مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُنْفِقَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ وَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا نَفَقَتَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ»  

"None of you should wish for death. Either he is a doer of good, so perhaps he may do more good, or he is an evildoer but perhaps he will give up his evil ways." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1818)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ يَزْدَادُ خَيْرًا وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَعْتِبُ»  

“None of you should wish for death because of some harm that befalls him. If he must wish for death, let him say: ‘O Allah, keep me alive so long as living is good for me and cause me to die when death is good for me.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4265)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَابُدَّ مُتَمَنِّيًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي»
