حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلَامٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْکُمْ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ فَإِنْ کَانَ لَا بُدَّ مُتَمَنِّيًا لِلْمَوْتِ فَلْيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا کَانَتْ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا کَانَتْ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6351
Narrated Anas: Allah's Apostle said," None of you should long for death because of a calamity that had befallen him, and if he cannot, but long for death, then he should say, 'O Allah! Let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me.' "
