بَابُ تَمَنِّي الْمَوْتِ لِمَنْ وَثِقَ بِعَمَلِهِ ، وَتَمَنِّيهِ عِنْدَ فَسَادِ الزَّمَانِ .
Wishing for death for one who trusts in his deeds, and wishing for it when times become corrupt
Majma al-Zawaid 17569 — Wishing for death for one who trusts
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " لَا يَتَمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَثِقَ بِعَمَلِهِ ; فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سِتَّ خِصَالٍ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ نَفْسُكَ فِي يَدِكَ فَأَرْسِلْهَا : إِضَاعَةَ الدَّمِ ، وَإِمَارَةَ الصِّبْيَانِ ، وَكَثْرَةَ الشُّرَطِ ، وَإِمَارَةَ السُّفَهَاءِ ، وَبَيْعَ الْحُكْمِ ، وَنَشْوٌ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ جَمَاعَةٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمْ .
Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) transmits this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "None of you should wish for death, unless he has confidence in his deeds, in which case the ruling is different. When you see six things in Islam, then wish for death, and if your soul is in your hand, let it go: the shedding of blood going to waste, the rule of children, an abundance of police (enforcers), the rule of fools, the selling of judicial rulings, and the emergence of young people who will recite the Qur'an by singing it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains a group of narrators whom I do not know.
