Hadith 585 - Bab 67 (Abomination of longing for Death)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "None of you should wish for death. If he is righteous, perhaps he may add to (his) good works, and if he is a sinner, possibly he may repent (in case he is given a longer life)."

[Al-Bukhari].

In Muslim, Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported : Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Let none of you wish for death, nor he ask for it before it comes to him, because when he dies, his actions will be terminated; certainly the age of a (true) believer does not add but good."

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Que l"un de vous ne souhaite pas la mort car, ou bien son œuvre est bonne et elle peut augmenter, ou bien elle est mauvaise et il se peut tout de même qu"il fasse quelque chose qui le mette finalement à l"abri de tout reproche».

Hadith 586 - Bab 67 (Abomination of longing for Death)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Let none of you wish for death on account of an affliction that befalls him. If he has no alternative, let him pray: 'Allahumma ahyine ma kanatil-hayatu khairan li, wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khairan li (O Allah! Give my life so long as the life is good for me, and take away my life if death is good for me)'."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Anas (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Que l"un de vous ne souhaite pas la mort à cause d"un mal qui l"a frappé. S"il doit absolument le faire, qu"il dise: «Seigneur Dieu! Laissez-moi en vie tant que la vie est pour moi un bien et faites-moi mourir si la mort est préférable pour moi».

Hadith 587 - Bab 67 (Abomination of longing for Death)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Qais bin Abu Hazim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to visit Khabbab bin Aratt (May Allah be pleased with him) during his illness. He had been cauterized in seven places. He said: "Our companions who have died have left (this world) without having enjoyed the pleasures of the world (in order to get a great full reward in the Hereafter) while we have amassed wealth exceeding our needs for which there is no place to keep except in the earth. Had Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) not prohibited us from longing for death, I would have prayed for it." Then we visited him again and he was building a wall. He said: "There is a reward in store for a Muslim in respect of everything on which he spends except for something he places in the earth (i.e., something exceeding our needs or essentials)."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Qays Ibn Hàzem rapporte: «Nous sommes entrés chez Al Khabbàb Ibn Al Arat (das) pour lui rendre visite au cours d"une maladie. Il s"était fait cautériser en sept endroits de son corps. Il dit: «Nos compagnons qui nous ont précédés sont passés alors qu"il ne leur manquait rien des biens de ce monde. Quant à nous nous en avons recueilli une quantité que seule la terre suffit à nous les garder. Si le Prophète (bsdl) ne nous avait pas interdit de souhaiter la mort, je l"aurais souhaitée». Puis nous lui rendîmes une autre visite alors qu"il réparait l"un des murs de sa maison. Il dit: «Le Musulman a un salaire certain pour tout ce qu"il dépense sauf pour ce qu"il cache sous terre» (interdiction de la thésaurisation). (ura)
