English narration
Narrated by خباب بن الأرت التميمي
We went to pay a visit to Khabbab bin Al-Art and he had got himself branded at seven spots over his body. He said, "If Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not forbidden us to invoke Allah for death, I would have invoked for it."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْنَا خَبَّابَ بْنَ الْأَرَتِّ نَعُودُهُ وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا ، فَقَالَ : " لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ ، لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ .
