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)

الكبرى للنسائي:١٩٦٢أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا وَقَالَ لَوْلَا

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