Hadith of Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7076 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ ، أَنَّ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى عَمِّهِ وَهُوَ شَاكٍ يَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ لِلَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ ، فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِيَدِهِ عَلَى صَدْرِ الْعَبَّاسِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَا تَتَمَنَّ الْمَوْتَ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَبْقَ تَزْدَدْ خَيْرًا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ، وَإِنْ تَبْقَ تَسْتَعْتِبْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ خَيْرًا لَكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit his paternal uncle (Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)) while he was ill and was wishing for death because of the suffering of that illness. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his blessed hand on the chest of Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O uncle of the Messenger of Allah! Do not wish for death, for if you remain alive and your good deeds increase, that will be better for you; and if you remain alive and seek the pleasure and forgiveness of Allah Almighty (for your slips), that too will be better for you."
