بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي طُولِ عُمُرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ ، وَالنَّهْيِ عَنْ تَمَنِّيهِ الْمَوْتَ .

اُردوEn
عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - دَخَلَ عَلَى الْعَبَّاسِ ، وَهُوَ يَشْتَكِي فَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ فَقَالَ : " يَا عَبَّاسُ ، عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَا تَمَنَّ الْمَوْتَ ، إِنْ كُنْتَ مُحْسِنًا تَزْدَادُ إِحْسَانًا إِلَى إِحْسَانِكَ خَيْرًا لَكَ ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مُسِيئًا اسْتَغْنَيْتَ خَيْرًا لَكَ ، لَا تَمَنَّ الْمَوْتَ " .
Sayyidah Umm al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who was ill, and he wished for death. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abbas, O uncle of the Messenger of Allah, do not wish for death. For if you are a doer of good, (then with a long life) your good deeds will increase further, and that is better for you; and if you are a doer of evil, you will be given respite and return (that is, repent), and that is better for you. So do not wish for death at all."
