Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 1718 — Dislike of Wishing for Death Due to Harm
1718 صحيح حديث خَبَّابٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: لَوْلاَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ، لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
Qais bin Abi Hazim narrated that I went to the service of Hazrat Khabbab bin Arat (may Allah be pleased with him); he had applied seven cauterizations (for the treatment of some illness). He said that if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would certainly have prayed for it.
