Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: The second hadith, which is like the first in meaning but with other benefits; he said, and this is the forty-ninth hadith, the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7235 . This hadith came, as he said, narrated by al-Bukhari with the wording belonging to him, and by Muslim, and in a narration by Muslim: Sahih Muslim 2682 . The first wording, which is that of Imam al-Bukhari, coincides completely with the hadith of Umm al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with her), and here is the observation from the Arabic perspective: in the first hadith: it is a direct prohibition addressed to his uncle al-Abbas.
Eid Abbasi : ... .
The Shaykh: As for here, in the second hadith he says: ; so it is a negation in the sense of prohibition, and the wording is different , the wording differs between being a prohibition and being ... .
None of you should long for death, for if he is a good man, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil-doer, he may stop the evil deeds and repent.
لا يتمنَّ أحدكم الموت ؛ إما محسنًا فلعله يزداد ، وإما مسيئًا فلعله يستعتَبُNone amongst you should make a request for death, and do not call for it before it comes, for when any one of you dies, he ceases (to do good) deeds and the life of a believer is not prolonged but for goodness.
لا يتمنَّى أحدكم الموت ، ولا يدعو به من قبل أن يأتيه ؛ وإنه إذا مات انقطع عمله ، وإنه لا يزيد المؤمن عمره إلا خيرًاDo not wish for death.
لا تتمنَّ الموتEid Abbasi : ... .
The Shaykh: As for here, in the second hadith he says:
