Supplication for the Elderly Not to Prolong Their Affliction

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the common people, when they see a person who has grown old and advanced in age, say, “O Allah, do not prolong his affliction,” meaning his state of old age. He asks: Is this prescribed?

Answer:
No, it is not prescribed. Rather, they should supplicate for him with a good ending, and supplicate for him with comfort. Supplicate for him with comfort and well-being, supplicate for him with well-being and comfort, and a good ending. Yes.
