Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He admonished us and spoke words that soften the hearts, and Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and wept a great deal. He said: Would that I had died! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Sa'd, are you wishing for death in my presence?" This exchange took place three times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Sa'd, if you were created for Paradise, then the longer your life and the better your deeds, the better it is for you." Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it, and al-Tabarani added these words in it: "And if you were created for the Fire, then it is an evil thing that you would hasten towards." Its chain contains Ali bin Yazid al-Alhani, who is da'if (weak).
