حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ
عُدْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَنَدْتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُرْجِعْهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ يَا أَبَا سَلَمَةَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ فَمُتْ» فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّا لَنُحِبُّ الْحَيَاةَ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى الْعُلَمَاءِ زَمَانٌ الْمَوْتُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمْ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْأَحْمَرِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ قَبْرَ أَخِيهِ فَيَقُولُ لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَهُ

✧ I visited Abu Hurayrah and leaned him against my chest, then I said: O Allah, cure Abu Hurayrah. He said: "O Allah, do not return it (i.e., the illness)." Then he said: "If you are able, O Abu Salamah, to die, then die." I said: O Abu Hurayrah, we love life. He said: "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurayrah, there will come upon the scholars a time when death will be dearer to one of them than red gold. One of you will come to the grave of his brother and say: Would that I were in his place."
