باب كَرَاهَةِ تَمَنِّي الْمَوْتِ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ

Sahih Muslim 2680cBook 48, Hadith 12

حَدَّثَنِي حَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، وَأَنَسٌ، يَوْمَئِذٍ حَىٌّ قَالَ أَنَسٌ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لَتَمَنَّيْتُهُ ‏.‏
