[AI] We entered upon a blacksmith whom we used to visit, and he was suffering from seven parasites in his stomach. He said, "If I had not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Do not wish for death,' I would have wished for it."
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فِي بَطْنِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ»
Isma'il ibn Qays said, "I came to Khabbab when he had been cauterised seven times. He said, 'If it had not been that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had forbidden us to pray for death, I would have done so.'"
حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
I came to Khabbab who had been branded with seven brands over his ʿAbdomen, and I heard him saying, "If the Prophet: had not forbidden us to invoke (Allah) for death, I would have invoked Allah for it."
أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
I visited Khabbab who had seven cauteries on his stomach and he said: Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ not forbidden us to call for death, I would have done so.
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فِي بَطْنِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
"We went to visit Khabbab who had himself cauterized in seven places on his body. He said: 'I have been ill for so long, and if it was not that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "None of you should wish for death" then I would have wished for it, and he said: "A man is rewarded for [all of] his spending except for the dust" - or he said - "in the building."
أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ تَطَاوَلَ مَرَضِي وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُ وَقَالَ يُؤْجَرُ الرَّجُلُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ التُّرَابَ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ
"I entered upon Khabbab when he had been cauterized on his stomach seven times. He said: 'Were it not that the Messenger of Allah forbade us to pray for death, I would have prayed for it."'
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى خَبَّابٍ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ
“We came to Khabbab to visit him (when he was sick), and he said: ‘I have been sick for a long time, and were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Do not wish for death,” I would have wished for it.’ And he said: “A person will be rewarded for all his spending, except for (what he spends) on dust,” or he said, “on building.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ فِي التُّرَابِ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ
Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ not stated this.." None should make a request for death," I would have definitely done that. (Using translation from Muslim 2680c)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ
[AI] We entered upon a bricklayer while he was constructing a wall. The Muslim said, "One is rewarded for everything except making it out of this mud." He had been affected by abdominal pain for seven days and said, "If it were not for the Prophet of Allah ﷺ forbidding us from praying for death, I would have prayed for it."
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ نَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إْلَّا مَا يَجْعَلُ فِي هَذَا التُّرَابِوَقَدْ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
I came to Khabbab who had been branded with seven brands over his ʿAbdomen, and I heard him saying, "If the Prophet: had not forbidden us to invoke (Allah) for death, I would have invoked Allah for it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6350)
أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا أَعُودُهُ وَقَدْ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ
I visited Khabbab who had seven cauteries on his stomach and he said: Had Messenger of Allah ﷺ not forbidden us to call for death, I would have done so. (Using translation from Muslim 2681a)
أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا فَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ»

[AI] We entered upon a blacksmith who we used to visit, and he had been burned. He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to call for death. But for that, I would have supplicated for it while he is treating his burn with it."
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فَقَالَ «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَدَعَوْتُ وَهُوَ يُعَالِجُ حَائِطًا لَهُ»

[AI] We entered upon a blacksmith who had seven burn marks on his stomach. He said, "If it weren't for the fact that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'None of you should wish for death because of the (hardships) of this life',"
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ»
