أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ ثنا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا الْمَوْتُ خَيْرٌ لَهَا إِنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {لَكِنِ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ} [آل عمران 198] وَإِنْ كَانَ فَاجِرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {إِنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِثْمًا}

✧ By the One besides whom there is no deity, there is no soul on earth but that death is better for it. If it is a believer, Allah says: {But those who fear their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow} [Al Imran 198]. And if it is a wicked person, Allah says: {We only prolong for them so that they may increase in sin}.
