حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَسِّرُوا وَلا تُعَسِّرُوا وَسَكِّنُوا وَلا تُنَفِّرُوا اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَسِّرُوا وَلا تُعَسِّرُوا وَسَكِّنُوا وَلا تُنَفِّرُوا
English Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us: 'Amr ibn 'Asim narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us from Thabit from Anas from the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) who stated: «None of you should wish for death because of a hardship that has befallen him. If he must say something, let him say: O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and take me if death is better for me.»
