حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَصَاحِفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ هَاشِمٍ السِّمْسَارُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فَاعِلًا، فَلْيَقُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي
