Sahih al-Bukhari 7233
Narrated Anas:
If I had not heard the Prophet saying, "You should not long for death," I would have longed (for it).
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ
" لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ " لَتَمَنَّيْتُ.
