"تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوتَ عِندَ خصالٍ سِت: عند إمَارَةِ السُّفَهَاءِ وبَيعْ الحُكْم، وَاستِخْفَاف بالدَّم، وَكثْرَةِ الشُّرَطِ، وقَطِيعةِ الرًّحِم، وَنَشْءٍ يَتَّخِذونَ الْقُرآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لِيُغنِّيَهَمْ، وَليْسَ بأَفقههِمْ".
[Machine] What is wrong with them? They said they are fleeing from the plague. He said, "Oh plague, take me to you." His cousin said to him, "Do you wish for death?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Wish for death at six occasions: during the reign of fools, when seeking power, when being careless with bloodshed, when making excessive conditions, when severing family ties, and when people make the Quran songs, preferring someone to sing it for them even though they are not the most knowledgeable among them.'"
مَا لَهُمْ؟ قَالُوا يَفِرُّونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ أَتَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ عِنْدَ خِصَالٍ سِتٍّ عِنْدَ إِمَارَةِ السُّفَهَاءِ وَبَيْعِ الْحُكْمِ واسْتِخْفَافٍ بِالدَّمِ وَكَثْرَةِ الشُّرَطِ وَقَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْوٍ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لِيُغَنِّيَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ زَادَ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ عُلَيْمًا الْكِنْدِيِّ
عَابِسٌ الْغِفَارِيُّ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ expressing concern for his ummah regarding six things: the dominance of women, the increase in law enforcement, bribery in judgment, cutting off family ties, the devaluation of bloodshed, and the improper use of the Quran as hymns, where they would give precedence to a man who is not the most knowledgeable or the most virtuous to recite it for them, engaging in singing.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ سِتَّ خِصَالٍ إِمْرَةُ الصِّبْيَانِ وَكَثْرَةُ الشُّرَطِ وَالرِّشْوَةُ فِي الْحُكْمِ وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ واسْتِخْفَافُ بِالدَّمِ وَنَشْوٌ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ وَلَا أَفْضَلِهِمْ يُغَنِّيهِمْ غِنَاءً
"بَادِرُوا بالأعْمَالِ سِتًّا: إِمارةَ السُّفَهَاءِ، وَكَثْرَةَ الشُّرَطِ، وَبَيعَ الحكم، وَاسْتخْفافًا بِالدَّم، وَقَطِيعَة الرَّحِم، ونَشئًا يَتَّخِذونَ القُرآن مزامير يُقَدِّمونَ أَحَدَهم ليُغنِّيَهم، وَإنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّهم فِقهًا".
