Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 3847 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: None of you
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي ، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should ever wish for death because of some harm that has befallen him; rather, he should say: 'Allahumma ahyini ma kanat al-hayatu khayran li, wa tawaffani idha alimta al-wafata khayran li' (O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die when You know that death is better for me)."
