أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ
أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابًا نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى فِي بَطْنِهِ سَبْعًا وَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّهُمْ مَضَوْا لَمْ يَأْكُلُوا مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا بَقِينَا بَعْدَهُمْ حَتَّى نِلْنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا لَا يَدْرِي أَحَدُنَا مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُنْفِقَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ وَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَيُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا نَفَقَتَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ»

✧ We came to Khabbab to visit him, and he had been cauterized in his belly seven times. He said, "Were it not that the Prophet ﷺ forbade us to pray for death, I would have prayed for it." Then he mentioned those of his companions who had passed on, that they had gone without consuming any of their rewards, and that we remained after them until we attained of this world what none of us knows what to do with except to spend it on dust. And a Muslim is rewarded for everything except what he spends on dust.
