أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الْمَوْتَ لِضُرٍّ نَزَلَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي
