(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ ضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلًا ، فَلْيَقُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتْ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي ، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتْ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should wish for death because of any hardship that befalls him. If wishing for death becomes necessary, then he should say: O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and grant me death when death is better for me.
