حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى خَبَّابٍ نَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا لَهُ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَا مَا يَجْعَلُ فِي هَذَا التُّرَابِ وَقَدْ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا فِي بَطْنِهِ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Waki' told us, Ibn Abi Khalid told us, from Qays, who said: We entered upon Khabbab to visit him while he was building a wall of his, and he said: "The Muslim is rewarded for everything, except what he spends on this dust." He had been cauterized seven times in his belly, and he said: "Were it not that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade us to pray for death, I would have prayed for it."
