ON WISHING FOR DEATH

May 27, 2022

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: "O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me.' "

Sahih al-Bukhari 5671, Book 75, Hadith 31
