DO NOT WISH FOR DEATH ON ACCOUNT OF MISFORTUNE

590

“None of you should wish for death because of a misfortune that comes to him. When anyone is badly afflicted, he should say, 'Allah let me live as long as my life is better for me, and cause me to die when death is better for me.'”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
