Riyad as-Salihin 40 (Book) #38425
Praying For Life And Death

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised us not to wish for death due to a misfortune, but instead ask Allah to keep us alive as long as life is better for us and make us die when death is better for us.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah said, "Let not one of you wish for death because of a misfortune which befalls him. If he cannot help doing so, he should say: 'O Allah, keep me alive as long as You know that life is better for me, and make me die when death is better for me". Al- Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ لا يتمنين أحدكم الموت لضر أصابه، فإن كان لابد فاعلاً فليقل‏:‏ اللهم أحيني ما كانت الحياة خيراً لي وتوفني إذا كانت الوفاة خيراً لي‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
