Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ ضُرٍّ أَصَابَهُ وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتْ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتْ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي.
English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad informed us, from Thabit, from Anas: that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "None of you should wish for death because of harm that has befallen him, but let him say: 'O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die when death is better for me.'"
