حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدُوسِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ أَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعَ كَيَّاتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا الَّذِينَ سَلَفُوا مَضَوْا وَذَهَبُوا لَمْ تَنْقُصْهُمُ الدُّنْيَا شَيْئًا وَإِنَّا أَصَبْنَا بَعْدَهُمْ مَا لَا نَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا إِلَّا التُّرَابَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ نَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُنْفِقُهُ إِلَّا شَيْئًا يَجْعَلُهُ فِي التُّرَابِ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَوْ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ»

✧ We entered upon Khabbab to visit him, and he had cauterized himself with seven cauterizations. He said, “Our companions who preceded passed on and departed, and this world did not diminish them in anything. But we attained after them such that we find no place for it except the dust.” He said, “Then we came after that to visit him, and he was building a wall for himself. He said, “A Muslim is rewarded for everything he spends, except for something he puts into the dust. And were it not that the Prophet ﷺ forbade—or forbade us—to pray for death, I would have prayed for it.”
