Chapter: What Has Been Related About the Prohibition Against Wishing For Death
Harithah bin Mudarrib said: I entered upon Khabab and he had been cauterized on his stomach. He said: 'I do not know any of the Companions of the Prophet who met with the trial I have met with. Indeed I could not find a Dirham during the time of the Prophet, and (now) outside my house there are forty thousand. If it were not that the Messenger of Allah forbade us' - or: 'forbade' - 'from wishing for death, then I would wish for it.'
Anas bin Malik narrated that: The Prophet said that (a Hadith similar to no. 970).
