أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی خَبَّابٍ وَقَدْ اکْتَوَی فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1828
Qais said: “I entered upon Khabbab when he had been cauterized on his stomach seven times. He said: ‘Were it not that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade us to pray for death, I would have prayed for it.” (Sahih)
