1820. It was narrated from Abû 'Ubaid the freed slave of 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Awf that he heard Abû Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'None of you should wish for death. Either he is a doer of good, so if he lives he will do more good, or he is a doer of evil but perhaps he will give up his evil ways.'" (Sahîh)
1819 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ، إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَعِيشَ يَزْدَادُ خَيْرًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ، وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَ»

Death is under Allâh's Command. Death does not get postponed or expedited by someone asking or trying to stop it. Then what is the benefit of asking such a thing, which cannot be achieved by supplicating. In reality, the time of death is appointed or fixed.
