مِنْ حَدِيثِ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُFrom the hadith of Khabbab ibn al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 27216
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا أَعُودُهُ , وَقَدْ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ , لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ " .
Qais says that we went to visit Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was engaged in the construction of his garden. Seeing us, he said that a Muslim receives reward for everything except for what he plants in this soil. He had treated himself by cauterizing his stomach seven times and was saying that if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would surely have prayed for it.
