حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابَ بْنَ الْأَرَتِّ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدْ اکْتَوَی سَبْعًا فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7234
Narrated Qais: We went to pay a visit to Khabbab bin Al-Art and he had got himself branded at seven spots over his body. He said, "If Allah's Apostle had not forbidden us to invoke Allah for death, I would have invoked for it."
