English translation
6430. Narrated Qais: I heard Khabbāb, who had branded his abdomen with seven brands,(1) saying, "Had Allāh's Messenger ﷺ not forbidden us to invoke Allāh for death, I would have invoked Allāh for death. The Companions of Muḥammad ﷺ have left this world without taking anything of their reward in it (i.e., they will have perfect reward in the Hereafter), but we have collected of the worldly wealth that we cannot spend but on earth (i.e., on building houses)."
