حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا أَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Qais says that we went to visit Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was engaged in the construction of his garden. Seeing us, he said that a Muslim receives reward for everything except for what he plants in this soil. He had treated himself by cauterizing his stomach seven times and was saying that if the Prophet (ﷺ) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would surely have prayed for it.
