English Translation

'Affan narrated to us, Hammad informed us, from Thabit, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'None of you should wish for death because of harm that has befallen him. Rather, let him say: O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is good for me, and take me when death is good for me.'
