Hadith 10013

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ ثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ زَاذَانَ أَبِي عُمَرَ عَنْ عُلَيْمٍ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عَلَى سَطْحٍ مَعَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَبْسًا الْغَفَّارِيَّ وَالنَّاسُ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ عَبْسٌ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي ثَلَاثًا يَقُولُهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُلَيْمٌ لِمَ تَقُولُ هَذَا أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَإِنَّهُ عِنْدَ انْقِطَاعِ عَمَلِهِ وَلَا يُرَدُّ فَيَسْتَعْتِبُ)) فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((بَادِرُوا بِالْمَوْتِ سِتًّا إِمْرَةَ السُّفَهَاءِ وَكَثْرَةَ الشُّرَطِ وَبَيْعَ الْحُكْمِ وَاسْتِخْفَافًا بِالدَّمِ وَقَطِيعَةَ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْئًا يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَهُ يُغَنِّيهِمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْهُمْ فِقْهًا))
‘Ulaym says: We were sitting on a roof, and a companion was also present with us. Yazid, the narrator, says: I think he was Sayyiduna ‘Abas Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him). At that time, people were dying of plague. Then ‘Abas said three times: O plague! Take me. ‘Ulaym said: Why do you pray for this? Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: No person should wish for death, because at that time his deeds are cut off and he is not returned so that he may please Allah Almighty. He (‘Abas) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Die before six things: the rule of fools, the abundance of police, the selling of justice, the cheapness of blood, the severing of ties of kinship, and before people recite the Noble Qur’an like flutes and songs, seeking pleasure and ecstasy, and they put someone forward (for leadership) only because he recites melodiously, even though he is the least understanding and knowledgeable among them.
