اُردوEn
عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " اثْنَتَانِ يَكْرَهُهُمَا ابْنُ آدَمَ : الْمَوْتُ ، وَالْمَوْتُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ ، وَيَكْرَهُ قِلَّةَ الْمَالِ ، وَقِلَّةُ الْمَالِ أَقَلُّ لِلْحِسَابِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بِإِسْنَادَيْنِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحَدِهِمَا رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Mahmud bin Labid (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "There are two things which a person dislikes: death, although death is better than fitnah (trial); and he dislikes having little wealth, although when wealth is little, the reckoning to be given will also be less."
Ahmad recorded it with two chains, and the narrators of one of them are the narrators of the Sahih.
