"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."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَزْدَادَ خَيْرًا وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ
(the Maula of ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Azhar) Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None of you should long for death, for if he is a good man, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil-doer, he may stop the evil deeds and repent."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ يَزْدَادُ وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَعْتِبُ
'None of you should wish for death. Either he is a doer of good, so if he lives he will do more good or he is a doer of evil but perhaps he will give up his evil ways."'
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَعِيشَ يَزْدَادُ خَيْرًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَإِنْ يَعِشْ يَزْدَدْ خَيْرًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهَذَا أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ مِنَ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ
"لَنْ يُدْخِلَ أَحَدًا عمَلُهُ الجَنَّةَ، قَالُوا: ولا أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قال: وَلَا أَنَا إِلَّا أنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِى اللهِ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ، فَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا، ولا يَتَمَنَّى أحَدُكمْ المَوْتَ، إِمَّا مُحْسِنٌ فَلَعَلَّهُ يَزْدَادُ خَيرًا، وإمَّا مُسِئٌ فَلعَلَّهُ أنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ".
"لا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أحَدُكُمْ الْمَوْتَ، إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ إن يعش يَزْدَدْ خيرًا وهو خير له، وإما مسيئًا فلعلَّه أنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ".
