Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was `Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray. `Umar said, The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is enough for us. The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some said Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray, while the others said as `Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, Go away! Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn `Abbas used to say, It was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise.

He said, Our companions who died (during the lifetime of the Prophet) left (this world) without having their rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we find no way to spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the Prophet not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have wished for it.' We visited him for the second time while he was building a wall. He said, A Muslim is rewarded (in the Hereafter) for whatever he spends except for something that he spends on building.

They (the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy on me. So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your ability: and none of you should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to Allah.
