Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ زَعَمَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسَمَ غَنَمًا يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ وَقَالَ اذْبَحُوهَا لِعُمْرَتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهَا تُجْزِئُ عَنْكُمْ فَأَصَابَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ تَيْسٌ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'None of you should wish for death due to hardship that has befallen him. If he must, let him say: O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die if death is better for me.'
