Sahih al-Bukhari 6430 (Book 81, Hadith 19) #6179
The Reward of Companionship with the Prophet

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Khabbab, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and how he wished to die but was forbidden by the Prophet. It also talks about how his companions left this world without taking anything from it, while he and others were able to collect wealth that could only be spent on earth.

Narrated Qais: I heard Khabbab, who had branded his 'Abdomen with seven brands, saying, "Had Allah's Messenger not forbidden us to invoke Allah for death, I would have invoked Allah for death. The companions of Muhammad have left this world without taking anything of their reward in it (ie, they will have perfect reward in the Hereafter), but we have collected of the worldly wealth what we cannot spend but on earth (ie on building houses).
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ خَبَّابًا، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى يَوْمَئِذٍ سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِالْمَوْتِ، إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ مَضَوْا وَلَمْ تَنْقُصْهُمُ الدُّنْيَا بِشَىْءٍ، وَإِنَّا أَصَبْنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا لاَ نَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا إِلاَّ التُّرَابَ‏.‏

Strive for closeness with our beloved prophet (ﷺ) .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of Khabbab, one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He had branded his abdomen with seven brands as a sign of his devotion to Allah and His Messenger. He wished to invoke Allah for death but was forbidden by the Prophet ﷺ as it is not permissible in Islam. The companions of Muhammad ﷺ left this world without taking anything from it, while Khabbab and others were able to collect wealth that could only be spent on earth. This shows us that those who are close to Allah's Messenger will receive great rewards in both this life and in the Hereafter, even if they do not take any material reward from this life. We should strive for closeness with our beloved prophet ﷺ so we can reap these rewards too!
