Sunan an-Nasai 1823 (Book 21, Hadith 6) #16434
Suffering and Praying for Death

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Khabbab's suffering and his wish to die, which was prevented by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbidding people from praying for death.

Qais said: "I entered upon Khabbab when he had been cauterized on his stomach seven times. He said: 'Were it not that the Messenger of Allah forbade us to pray for death, I would have prayed for it"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى خَبَّابٍ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ

Have patience during difficult times and trust God's plan

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Khabbab who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He suffered greatly as he was cauterized on his stomach seven times. Despite this immense pain, he still held onto hope and faith in Allah SWT as he said that if it were not forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, he would have prayed for death. This shows us how strong his faith in Allah SWT was despite all of his suffering. It also teaches us that we should never give up hope even when faced with difficult situations because Allah SWT will always be there to help us through them. We should also remember that we are not allowed to pray for death as this is forbidden in Islam; instead, we must remain patient and trust in Allah’s plan no matter what happens.
