Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1959 — Wishing for death is forbidden
Narrated from Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him):
He had seven scars on his body and used to say: My companions departed from this world before me, and the world could not diminish their reward (because they were not engrossed in the world), and now we have so much wealth that we find no place to keep it except in the earth. And if the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had not forbidden us from asking for death, I would surely have prayed for death.
