Pray to God during times of difficulty or distress; Put your trust in God; Seek His help; Have faith in His plan; Recite the given prayer when faced with such situations.

In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) teaches us that we should not wish for death due to any afflictions that befall us. Instead, we should pray to Allah and ask Him for guidance on what is best. We should trust that whatever Allah has planned is the best outcome and have faith that He will provide us with a way out of our troubles. The Prophet also taught us a prayer which we can recite when faced with such situations - “Allahumma ahyine ma kanatil-hayatu khairan li, wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khairan li” which translates as “O Allah! Give my life so long as the life is good for me, and take away my life if death is good for me”. This prayer reminds us to put our trust in Allah and seek His help during times of difficulty or distress.
