بَابُ كَرَاهَةِ تَمَنِّي الْمَوْتِ وَفَضْلِ طُولِ الْعُمُرِ مَعَ حُسْنِ الْعَمَلِChapter on the dislike of wishing for death and the virtue of long life with good deeds
Hadith 2995
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا وَجِعٌ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَجَلِي قَدْ حَضَرَ فَأَرِحْنِي، وَإِنْ كَانَ آجِلًا فَارْفَعْنِي، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَلَاءً فَاصْبِرْنِي، قَالَ: ((مَا قُلْتَ؟)) فَأَعَدْتُّ عَلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: ((مَا قُلْتَ؟)) قَالَ: فَأَعَدْتُّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: ((اللَّهُمَّ عَافِهِ أَوْ اشْفِهِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِهِ بِدُونِ شَكٍّ)))، قَالَ: فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُ ذَلِكَ الْوَجَعَ بَعْدُ
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was ill and I was saying: O Allah! If my time of death has come, then grant me relief (by death); if death is delayed, then raise me up; and if this is my trial, then grant me patience. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What did you say? When I repeated my words, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck me with his foot and said: What did you say? I repeated my words again. This time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Grant him well-being. Or he said: O Allah! Grant him healing. In one narration, without any doubt, only these words are mentioned: O Allah! Grant him healing. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After that, I never complained of that pain again.
Brief Explanation
Benefit: … It is understood that it is prohibited to supplicate for death out of distress from any illness or hardship. If a person, out of discomfort, makes such a supplication, then he should be advised, and one should pray for his health and recovery.
