Hadith on Mawt: Do not wish for death, you might repent

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Let none of you wish for death. If he is a good-doer, he might increase his good deeds. If he is an evil-doer, he might make amends.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمْ الْمَوْتَ إِمَّا مُحْسِنًا فَلَعَلَّهُ يَزْدَادُ وَإِمَّا مُسِيئًا فَلَعَلَّهُ يَسْتَعْتِبُ
