[Machine] I was with Abis Al-Ghifari on the back of a donkey in Basra when he saw people carrying to escape from the plague. He said, "Oh plague, take me to you, Oh plague, take me to you, Oh plague, take me to you." His cousin said to him, "He had companionship, why would he wish for death?" And I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "None of you should wish for death, for when he wishes for it, his lifespan is cut off."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَجَارٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَرَأَى النَّاسُ يَتَحَمَّلُونَ لِيَهْرَبُوا مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ لِمَ يَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَيَكُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ انْقِطَاعُ أَجَلِهِ»
