حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ تَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ " لَتَمَنَّيْتُ.

Narrated Anas:
If I had not heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "You should not long for death," I would have longed (for it). (IT)
