Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not wish for death, for the terror of what one beholds after death (al-muttala') is severe." After this the narrator mentioned the complete hadith, which has already appeared earlier in the Book of Repentance, in the chapter on long life.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and the chains of both are jayyid (good).
