If a person sees fitnah and fears for himself, is it permissible for him to say, "Take me to You without fitnah"? Is this not wishing for death?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : That is, in this case, it is permissible for a person who sees fitnah and fears for himself to...

The Shaykh : ...say, "Take me to You without fitnah," yes.

The questioner : And there is wishing for death in it as well.

The Shaykh : No, "Take me without fitnah" means even if I remain in these trials. And for this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The truly happy one is the one who is protected from trials, and the one who is tested and has patience, he is weak. إنما السعيد من وقي الفتن ، ومن ابتلي فصبر فوهن
