Avoiding Longing for Death

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised against longing for death.

Narrated Anas: If I had not heard the Prophet saying, "You should not long for death," I would have longed (for it).
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ ‏"‏ لَتَمَنَّيْتُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to avoid longing for death, as it is not a desirable thing. He said that if he had not heard this advice from the Prophet ﷺ, he would have longed for death himself. This hadith teaches us that life is precious and should be cherished and respected, no matter how difficult it may be at times. We should strive to make the most of our lives by doing good deeds and helping others in need. We should also remember that Allah has given us life as a test, so we must use it wisely and strive to do our best in order to gain His pleasure.
