English translation

6350. Narrated Qais: I came to Khabbāb who had been branded with seven brands over his abdomen, and I heard him saying, "If the Prophet ﷺ had not forbidden us to invoke (Allāh) for death, I would have invoked (Allāh) for it."

Arabic text

6350 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «لَوْلاَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ»
