Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should ever wish for death, nor pray for it before it comes to him, unless he has confidence in his deeds, in which case the ruling is different."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah, who is a mudallis and has weakness in him, though he has been declared trustworthy, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
