Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37323 — The words of Abu al-Darda

It is narrated from Ya'la bin al-Walid that he said: I was walking with Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: I said: "O Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him)! What do you wish for the one you love?" He said: "Death." The narrator said: I said to him: "But if he does not die?" He said: "That his children and wealth be few."
