[Machine] Narrated by 'Aabis Al-Ghifaari, the companion of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that he was on a rooftop and he saw people traveling. He asked, "What is happening with the people?" They said, "They are traveling to escape from the plague." He said, "O plague, take me! O plague, take me! O plague, take me!" His nephew said to him, "He wishes for death, while the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Do not wish for death, for it cuts off one's actions and the person will not be rewarded anymore.'"  

عَنْ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى سَطْحٍ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ يَتَرَحَّلُونَ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالُوا يَتَرَحَّلُونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ قَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ يُتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتُ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ الْعَمَلَ وَلَا يَرُدُّ الرَّجُلَ فَيُسْتَعْتَبُ؟»
