Not one of you must wish for death from any wordly affliction; but if there certainly is anyone wishing for death, he must say, "O Lord, keep me alive so long as life may be good for me, and wish me to die when it is better for me so to do."
"Qofna yuusan dhimasho u yeeran dhib soo gaartay awgeed, haddiise uu ka fursan waayo ha yiraahdo: Ilaahoow inoolee intii aad ogtahay inay nolashu khayr ii tahay, oo i oofso markii aad ogtahay in dhimashadu khayr ii tahay."
